For awhile my fish tank was struggling, the fish would not survive and the guppies, live bearers, were not having babies. I made some adjustments this year to the filtration and water, and bought a few rounds of guppies from the pet store, and voila! The tank is filled with new guppies and their many progeny, you can see some of the tiniest ones in the middle of the painting. I also have a plecko in the tank, which is seen bottom left but not to scale, it would be about 4 times this size relative to the guppies. That ghostly image on the top right is the best I could do for a loach- it only appeared for a split second before hiding behind the habitat. The habitat are dense wood chunks sold at the pet store for aquariums. I will have to be more patient to do a portrait of the loaches, and maybe drop some bloodworms in the tank which will draw them out if I am quiet.
