Did my first deep clean of the 40-Breeder yesterday, and was surprised to find that most of the little buggers were alive & well! Lost a few Es...one of them was a favorite, Izzy. :cry: The other 3 were victims of PPS, so I never got to know them. Well, here it is, all spiffy & new!

Holy smoly that is alot to absorb--so sorry that you lost some--the rest of everything and everyone looks great! artyhat4:
I don't know who to comment on first!!! :giverose: Your tank looks beautiful as always. I really like the tree trunk you have in the middle there. ALL your babies look INCREDIBLE and happy! Sorry about the guys that didn't make it.
As always everything looks absolutely wonderful! Your kids look great! So sorry about Izzy and your others. I know you always take it hard when you lose one, especially a fave. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))
The pictures are all amazing, but what got me was how big the Ants are!!! OMG, I can't believe how much they've grown!!
WOW! That was a lot to see... but well worth the time! Everyone looks great and so does the tank! Sorry about your losses :tear:
