Thanks everyone!

I just got 2 more amazon swords today. They are both about 14 inches tall, with 2 long stems sticking up beyond the surface of the water. They only cost $1 more than the little 4 inch swords, so I figured why the heck not!

The dragon fish is technically called a Violet Goby, or Dragon Goby. They get up to 24 inches in length according to most sources. Mine is about 13 inches right now, so he's got a way to go before he's fully grown. They're actually fairly peaceful. Mine gets along with every other fish in the tank. The only thing he doesn't like is when the eel gets to laying on top of him in a hiding spot.

Oh, the goby's are also considered a brackish water fish, although they can do ok in freshwater. It's recommended that they be moved into, or their tank slowly converted into, a brackish tank as they mature. Mine is in just plain freshwater, but I may set up a brackish tank in the future.

I am so envious of you! I am hoping to upgrade from a 55 to 125 in the near future but have to get a contractor in to make sure my floor will hold it!!!! Lovely tank!
