    And that yellow fish you see…his name is Yellow Girl. We just discovered that Yellow Girl is a boy this past weekend.

    He/she’s gonna have a complex, ‘cos I’m still gonna call him “Yellow Girl.” ;-)

    The quality of this pic is surprisingly good for a private picture. I would have expected more light artefacts and poorer color quality, since you propably took this picture from the outside and not with some underwater equipment.

    There’s no floaties or gunk on the glass. What gives? These fish are living in the luxury tank!

    We’ve had a 180 litre tank since around November last year and it sure doesn’t look as spic and span as that. Maybe for a day after cleaning but not for long.

    Is that a marine set up?

    @PS3 - no, freshwater and only 6 gallons. :-)

    In hindsight, looking at the clarity, small may have been better.

    So mesmerising though, good stress relief.

    Is there only Yellow Girl in your fish tank? Does she has any friends? Underwater view is good for stress relief. I like it.

    It is amazing what tranquility a simple fishtank (or even just a pic of one) can impart to the viewer. Definitely an object of meditative contemplation. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your fishtank!

    Your tank is delightful to behold. I am a pisces, and water is my element, so I doubly like it. Definitely the best executive stress relief.

    @Tiffany - there’s also Maxwell, a Pleco. He’s camera shy. :-)
