The fish foraging in the current for the vegetarian granules being fed.
Some recent shots.
My male, long-fin ancistrus made a rare early evening appearance. But was gone afte the Jack Russell decided to take a look.
The female krib with a clown loach.
The stream flowing under the fallen branch.
FTS - Need to clean the top glass.

Did a water change last night
I just use the garden hose to fill the tank.
From the far side of the tank during refill.
The congos love playing in these bubbles.
The circulation pump positioned to move water along the back wall down the length of the tank.

Some pics of the congos doing their thing. I currently have 5 males. I will add another later this year after my trip to Toronto in June/July.
Pic of the crypts on the right hand side of the tank. I think it is C. Willisii. Can anyone confirm or re-ID?
This is how the males hang out during the "day".
The female is so active it is hard to get a clear shot of her.
I like her especially when she is in spawning dress.

Beautiful tank, are you gonna add cherry barbs? Another fish that lives in streams, very hardy as well
I am currently not looking at adding any fish not from African streams/rivers.
I am thinking about doing my empty 300gal into an Asian river/stream.

Found two older videos of this tank:
The congos chilling in the current
And the kribensis hanging out under the fallen branch

Love your tank bro! I can never get plants growing very well in my water. I tried for 5or 6 years and finally gave up. I now happily care for cichlids and have no desire to try a planted aquarium again. However, I do love the look them. Especially when they are executed as well as yours. Truly remarkable. Kudos!
Thanks!!
I struggled too for years and gave up. We suffer here due to the high summer temps that helps algae grow rampant.
After researching, I selected the hardiest plants, up the circulation around the plants, and added a bristlenose pleco. This three step combo allowed me for the first time to grow plants successfully long term. Also, doing weekly maintenance and water changes seemed to only increase my success.
