I clean around all my tank decorations, haven't had a chance to update pics of this 75g in a while - been busy with my other tanks and moving my larger cichlids to their new home. Recently got a female JD, didn't know she was a female at the time, now I have a lovely bonded pair of JDs. Mostly ...

they seem to be loving the new gravel. now, i'm thinking of adding a mantle-like cover and working on a DIY hood for the tank.

my bf's awesome sand cichlid tank that i'm super jealous of

I've made some changes to my tank - added new brown gravel to tone down the bright sand and lights. I know gravel isn't ideal for my corydoras, but I've created patches of sand using my zen garden raking style, so they should be okay with their long barbs.

I've got a little guy here who's in need of a name, so I thought why not let you all decide. He was a surprise gift from the lady at my local fish store - she got a new shipment in and as soon as I walked in, she told me she had a present waiting for me.

I'm also pretty sure my corydoras are a bronze female and a male leopard, they were getting frantic so I stuck 'em in a plastic frame netted breeder cage, but honestly I've been trying to figure out for sure if they're male and female, and nothing I've read has been clear enough to make me 100% on it.
