Water World

I was able to take a few pictures of the aquarium this evening. I have recently hooked-up a CO2 supply that has a very nice effect. Under the influence of light and CO2, the aquarium plants do what plants are supposed to do; take-up CO2 and give-off oxygen. The oxygen forms little bubbles on the leaves, a process called pearling among the planted aquarium crowd. It is pretty cool, you should be able to make out the bubbles of oxygen on the surfaces of the leaves. Also I got some really nice pictures of the dwarf gourami (the blue-orange speckled fish)
and a rummy-nosed tetra. These a really pretty fish with a bright red head, a silvery body and the tail has black and white stripes. Enjoy the pictures.
