I've been meaning to ask. Are you still keeping the pothos underwater?

I've been thinking about throwing some in one of my tanks but didn't know how it would do long term when submerged fully

Yes I am. The fish love swimming between/resting around it. Vine type pieces adapt quicker than pot bound bushes. You will get some leaf/stem melt but keep trimming and it will adjust and grow. Use red/blue spectrum in your lighting. Pothos needs more high intensity light when submerged. Make sure you have long chunky roots on your pieces!
 
New Pics.

Here's one of Tango. He is absolutely my most personable parrot, playful and shy. He watches TV (and people in the bathroom). Little weirdo.

Evening sunset mode in his tank.

Brick has his silly streak. Here, he squeezes into the BP's hide for the night...the opening is 6". He can barely fit. He's hanging out the back. I believe this is how doofus scratched his belly today. There is no space he won't try to cram into.

Update on Chip. He is healing nicely and seems to be a changed fish. He pokes a little at the Choc, Bobo but nothing serious (Bobo is starting to overpower him now). He's less aggressive when eating and overall is much more controlled. We'll see how long it lasts. I purchased a "timeout box" that arrived today. Hopefully I won't need it but it's good to have just in case. The box is a plastic frame with a stretchable screen. It can also be used for mothers/fry to protect them from other tank members.

He's still improving on his swimming...the anal fin will take some time to regrow the trailer. But at least he's moving it now. Still doesn't trust anything around his head! He won't expose it at any angle and wants all his food to fall directly in front. Chip got a bit fiesty for a bit once he felt better. It was shut down (and yes, he has another new mark). But since then nothing.

Chip's being a good boy so far. He's giving Bobo a small 'kiss' here, nothing serious or openly aggressive. You can see the triangle stump of his lower fin. I'd say he's at about 85-90 percent swimming normally. Hard to be a one legged dude in a butt kicking contest. Thankfully the BP and Oscar seem to be bored of him at this point. The O will randomly chase him for the &*## of it.
