I'll get some. I would like to get a good pic of every fish in there...but that will take some time. Here is one I took the other night...it doesnt have all the fish in the shot but it does have a few of them. I'll get more once the new fish get in and settled.

:popcorn:

Got the fish in...some are real nice some are so so...once they settle ill snap some pics. Adding those 8 fish tho sent my tank into turmoil...everyone was fighting with everyone lol. There are some that I never see do anything that were mixing it up. Move over...more fish coming through lol.
 
I am so jelious of this tank. I bought my 225 and placed in my dining room directly because of this thread and your tank. I was heart broken when I had to move the tank to the garage. My dining room is an add on and would not support the tank. Hats off to you man, it's beautiful!

PS - You are one of only two other people besides me on MFK I have seen totally anal about the way your scrubbies are put together. I love it! :D
