I finally took some photos of my aquarium and fish. My neighbour was getting rid of stuff and sold me this practically new 15 gallon aquarium for a great price. Freshwater tropical fish.

I have four platies, three cory catfish, and three otto catfish. I also have two live plants; water sprite and amazon sword. Fake log and some rocks.

Left to right: 2 female 'unknown' platies, 2 tuxedo platies (male top of pic, female below), cory catfish (I have three but one is hiding), otocinclus catfish (I have three), and pic of my tank.

The cory catfish are scavengers and the ottos are algae eaters.

These fish are all easy going and get along great. The male seems to prefer the female tuxedo platy and tends to ignore the white colored platies. I guess fish have preference like humans do, lol.

Fish don't pose so its difficult to get photos of them lol.

My female tuxedo platy looks quite pregnant and will probably drop 20 plus babies soon. I may buy a baby tank to clip on the side. Unfortunately its rare for all the babies to make it to adult life.

The aquarium is on a heavy duty desk in the rec room right now but eventually I would like to buy a more compact streamlined stand for it.
