Well, yeah, it was just a theory. :wink:

Feel free to move it as you see fit. Just make sure to drain all the water first.

amazing, are these long term tanks, or setup just for the contest ?

Where's the corals? BAH!

But man, those must take a level of care and grooming that goes well beyond the level of sanity that most of us waddle in.

I'm pretty sure the contest is judged on pictures people send in. And by looking at them, I'd say they're probably long term.

Yeah, seriously. Can you believe people waste their time on this garbage? :x

BTW, the fish in the second one from the bottom have the common name of "Green Neons". These are different than the regular "neons" or "cardinals".

More info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_neon_tetra

The green neon tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) is a freshwater fish of the characin family (family Characidae) of order Characiformes. It is native to the upper Orinoco and Negro Rivers in South America.

This fish is similar in appearance to the closely-related and better-known neon tetra, but it is slightly smaller and its red patch is less pronounced, while the blue-green areas of the upper body are more brilliant. Also, its body is slimmer than that of the neon tetra. It grows to a maximum overall length of approximately 2.5 cm (1 in).

Like the other Paracheirodon species, the green neon tetra is kept as an aquarium fish, but it is less commonly seen than either the true neon tetra or the cardinal tetra.

P. simulans is also sometimes called the blue or false neon. Hyphessobrycon simulans and Cheirodon simulans are obsolete synonyms.
