Re reaquascaping all over again

This is the "Original" 20 gallon that was given to me. First thing I did was replace the pink gravel. It has neon and glowlight tetras, a couple of harlequin rasboras and 2 teeny spotted cories.

Closer view of the Original tank. Yes, there is a rock with purple string in the left front corner.

This is the 36 gallon bowfront that I got on Craig's list. It is the livebearer tank. It has 2 black mollies, 1 gold lyretail molly (named Paris because she flounces) a pair of longfin red swordtails, 4 sunset platies and the cories named Manny, Moesha and Jack. Yes there is not only a rock with purple string, there is a Mayan obelisk in there. I read that some mollies were from the Yucatan peninsula, so I put in the Mayan obelisk. Couldn't hurt. Also there are a couple of fry in there that I can't catch, or I would have taken them to the LFS with all their little brothers and sisters....

This is the newest tank, a 30 gallon XH. (sorry for the crappy picture...) It has a couple of diamond tetras, a couple of silvertip tetras and 6 pristella tetras. And 3 green cories. And a rock with purple string. At least I'm consistent. Can you tell I like tetras? I have added another light strip from a tank that I am not using at the moment for some extra light for those plants.

Lookin' good!

I lke that big bit of driftwood--very nice, and the plants seem to be doing very well!

Beautiful work, Susan. The rocks and purple strings are a nice touch.

I took some more pics, but I just wanted to post this one....
"Winston" the diamond tetra in the 30XH

That is as still as he has ever been. And it's still blurry.

That's a nice picture. Really colorful with all those healthy looking plants.

Awww, thanks Reiv!

A compliment from the "aquatic plant meister" himself! Yay!!!
Plants are fun. Sometimes persnickety, but fun.
