Well, my old adult Platies have died within a
month of each other. They didn't appear diseased
so I think it was just old age. I believe they only
live a couple of years anyway. My final batch of
fry is maturing. One's gotten quite large and has
developed into a male. Two others are doing fine
and are somewhat smaller but the smallest one has
a warped spine and probably won't live very long.

A few more baby platies have been born and some
of the original orange wagtails have died. The
pleco and snails are still doing fine. One new
addition is a group of Ghost shrimp which seem to
get along pretty well with everyone. The
Anacharis didn't
really like the water conditions so I pulled it out
and replaced it with some
Water Sprite.

Fish tank just recently set up. The front right
side of the tank has some
Anacharis with a
Java Fern on the ledge
behind it. On the left side of the tank near the
back is an
Amazon Sword
and another Java Fern
is up near the front left of the tank. The tank is
pretty empty at this point with a couple of orange
wagtail platies, a six inch common plecostomus, and
a bunch of Malaysian Trumpet snails.
