I got a few more quick pictures today. That plants are all looking happy enough. I think that the Cyrtosperma johnstonii and Pilea cardierei go together nicely.

I am setting up for some full-tank shots. Here is a view from the side.

As I was formatting that shot I noticed a nice area of detail in the center of the frame.

I can't stop taking pictures of these plants, especially with the Cyrtosperma johnstonii looking so cool. Here's another view.

I re-painted the wall with plain white, which sets up a much better contrast for the green foliage than that cream off-white did.

Here is detail from that picture above.

I haven't been back here to Planet Catfish in a long time. Years!

I have a few new tank projects going on and I mean to share some pictures and observations here.

I'm pondering a new riparium setup to feature a nice group of cories.
