Alright here are the pics:

Full Tank:



Left Side:



Right Side w/ Bleheri (just got a nice trim):



Anubias:



Wisteria:



Unknown ID (please let me know if you know what this is. The non-scientific name had "blue" in it.)



GBR (Can you sex it for me? It will be getting a mate and a name lol so I need to know. I haven't found a clear site yet that will tell me.)



It's fins are fully flared so let me know whether it's male or female if you can tell. Thanks again to everyone who keeps an eye on this and to those that help me!

from the pic that looks like a girl. Females will have that red blotch on the belly, males will not, and in my opinion you have more than enough room for a pair.

Alright, and what it the best to feed the fry? My GBR has been trained to swim to the top, which, from what I've read, is pretty rare for them to do. I walk in the room and he's up at the top. I don't underfeed at all... I'm actually worried about over feeding. Anyway, fry food, what's the best?

when mine bred I had got a batch of micro worms off of Aquabid, from everything Ive read they will be best for them, the fry are so small that a lot of them may be to small for baby brine. I read alot also use vinegar eels. A couple people that breed rams told me that rams have a learning curve when it comes to spawning. some get it right others it takes a few tries before a successful spawn.

Default Re: New 20L Planted

so 3 month update on this tank =P The plants have grown in nicely. For those of you that haven't seen my other post I have some good and some bad news. The bad news first... I lost my GBR =[ and I don't plan on getting another one... now here's the good news (and why I'm not getting another GBR) I recently found out that my Pygmy Corydoras are breeding =] I don't want to disrupt the baby making so I will be setting up a new 20 Gallon in the coming weeks (new thread to be made as well).

Pics to come.. my camera got stolen so they won't be as good of quality as my others.

Current stock list:
Plants:
same as pics... just more full

Fish:
3 Chinese Algae Eaters
3 of the original 5 Pygmy Corydoras with roughly 15+ fry of all shapes and sizes... but mostly sizes

Here are some new pics of the 20 gallon... A little bit of an algae bloom as of late due to lack of co2 dosing =/







Here are some pics of my fiancée's 20 low-tech that I am setting up for her guppies:
