ok lots of stuff going on! first off, i got a new camera, finally a DSLR!!!!!! i love this thing!!! all pics were taken with a Nikon D40 and the standard kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6). i put a spare light on the tank, set the ISO to 400, used the shutter priority setting so i could choose the shutter speed and shot away! i love the results. these are straight from the camera. i didnt even bother to edit anything :)

pretty much all the random fish i had are gone with the exception of the carpintis. i did pick up a gorgeous female Xingu I pike which you'll see in the pics.

ive gotten rid of a few orinos to make way for some new guys. just recently i added an 18" monster orino, and two 13-14" ones. as well as the beastly 16" indo dat.

enjoy the pics :D
