Thanks for the compliment on the pics. You don't need to spend the big bucks on a camera to get good pictures (this may upset some people). The picture of the betta was taken with a $250 point and shoot camera from Costco. All of the other pics were taken with my Fuji finepix 3 megapixel camera (well it can technically do 6 megs, but these pics are 3 meg). You can have the most expensive Leica medium format digital camera but have every shot look cruddy if you don't know how to use the camera. To get good pics you have to know what your camera can do and work with it. Sure some cameras can take better pictures than others, but again you might be surprised what you can do with a point and shoot.

Mike, I would have more plecos but I don't really have the space. Needless to say I am a little jealous of you. Even if I could find a blue eyed panaque, I am not sure I would be willing to pay the $$$$. I wouldn't mind a zebra or two, but again, the $$$ is a problem. We have been wanting a Mango, but haven't really searched them out in a while. I had a really nice gold nugget but he got thrashed by my ancistrus. I am not a member of plecofanatics (although I am a mod on a freshwater board).
