A few years ago I decided I wanted an aquarium, but I didn't actually get one until two of my friends did. I figured if I started to screw something up, their budding expertise would set me right again.

I have two tanks now; I named them Guppy Canyon and Ototropolis.

I'm about to geek out, but in between the massive doses of geek, there are pretty pictures of my fish tanks that perhaps even the non-hobbyist will enjoy.

GUPPY CANYON:
freshwater 22 gallon long gravel substrate 1 bog log flora: wisteria, three unidentified plants fauna: 1 clown pleco, ~3839257938 guppies, malaysian trumpet snails	Plans: I'd like to introduce a golden wonder killi to eat fry, and perhaps some red wagtail platies to make fry. I love watching animals eat other animals. I also want to paint a desert landscape for the backdrop. I have an artistic obsession with desertscapes + aquatic life.

Guppy Canyon at night.

My clown pleco, Jii. (She's named after the vegetarian lake monster in Immortal Showdown.)

OTOTROPOLIS:
freshwater 11 gallon long substrate: green seaglass on Tahitian Moon on Eco-Complete 1 bog log flora: wisteria, dwarf hair grass, unidentified carpet plant fauna: Nothing! When I went to get the fish I wanted, it turned out their whole shipment had ick.	Plans: I only want it to contain otos/dwarf suckermouth catfish (~Otocinclus). Seamus and I are working on a steampunk-themed hood for the tank, with brass fittings and whatnot, and I'm going to build a tiny pulley system to raise and lower a basket carrying their algae wafers.

Ototropolis in natural light.

I collected the seaglass by hand with the help of friends.
Then I boiled it and rinsed it to make it as safe as possible.

I wanted to set up an aquarium webcam but my housemate assured me that wasn't even cool back in 1998, when people still did that. Well, I think he's a big doodyhead, but I'm also too lazy to actually do it.

Guppy Canyon again. This is the view my webcam would have had.
