7 Gallon Hex Tank

A good photograph of my first fish tank (started last July) still eludes me. For now, this is the best I've got.

Platies in the Jungle

Baby dwarf platies in the jungle

The seven gallon hex tank is the oldest tank in the house at 5 months (as of yesterday). It's first residents were some bronze cories (the same ones that just reproduced themselves). It took a lot of trial and error to get plants to thrive in it. I suspect that it's the plants that allowed these little sunset coral dwarf platies to survive their parents.

Sunset Coral Platy Fry

Here are two of the three platy fry that Jeff mentioned yesterday. We first noticed them about five days ago, and they’ve been spending most of their time hiding out in the water wisteria at the bottom of the tank. Now that they’re almost too large to get eaten by their parents, they’re getting a little bolder.
