Which one? the biggest of the two has approx age of 7-10 years and the smaller one has around 3-5 years growth. The sqaumosa I have has approx age of 4-6 years and the two deresas I have are still within a 2 yr period of time.

here's a macro of my 2 1/2" crocea when i had him up for a phyto bath. i need to make a box to take pictures under water. i can't get a good photo of him under the 400w halides, to much reflection. he has some wicked aquamarine highlights.

OrionN-

I like to keep the tank fairly clean , the system as a whole has been up for just over a year now.

First, the whole 75, then after that, a pic of the Deresa spawning. Mind you, these pics were all taken around on 1/15/05 before my digi camera broke. Need to take new ones after all this time and growth. The D. was about the same size as the C. seen on the right, but now is easily twice that size or more now.





Still haven't gotten a good pic of the 3rd crocea (my favorite) from above that was seen in that first pic, but here is a decent one from above of the D. and first C. I got for this tank.

NICE.

You need to get yourself a little acrylic boat for your camera though. That's what I use for top-down shots. Make sure the lens is right up against the acrylic and then no more light reflection.
