Hey everyone! (That is if anyone is still here in this section haha) I just wanted to see what everyone was keeping these days.

I still have various cories (c.paleatus, c.aeneus including albino version, c.arcturus to name a few. As for loaches, sadly my chinese hillstream loach is no more. And this being the catfish section I still do have my albino sailfin pleco.
No current pics but i do have pics of them in the Pics thread at the the top of this section.

Ever notice in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone,make an example or needed a killing, he sent an angel? Ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? An existence spent praising your God, but always with 1 wing dipped in blood. Would you really want to see an angel?

I have a group of 11 botia kubotai, 7 Synodontis multi's, 7 Synodontis petricola, a single S. eupterus, and too many BN pleco's to count. Also have a handful of L-10a remaining, 6 L-333's, 6 L-134's, 3 L-204's, and just picked up a used 125 gallon tank that included a big old clown loach. Bugger was in the tank for 8 years, and is the size of my eupterus (though not as fat) and hopefully will be rehomed soon. I'm hoping someone with a bigger tank and a group of similar-size clowns will take the fish, hate to see it remain w/out others of its own kind to interact with.

I've still got my bn pleco and a few albino corys. 

Back in the spring I decided to grow some organic zuchini for the pleco, so i tossed a few seeds into the raised bed my tomatoes go in.  Well the squirrels got the tomatoes and I got fed up and forgot about the bed - never watered it or even looked at it all summer.  A few weeks ago, after the first frost had killed the tomato plants, I went to clean the bed out and there was one perfect zuchini in there the size of my forearm!  i weighed it and it was almost 4 pounds!  So I sliced it and froze it and Mr. Pleco will have plenty of veges this winter :)

My stock has really declined, down to 3 Cory's, a Clown Loach and a Siamese Algae Eater. I hope to upgrade to some larger tanks in a few years, but that all depends on moving, etc etc haha.

Who sez ya gotta set 'em up? I have a 70 I picked up free off of Craigslist sitting in the back of my van. It's a little too unwieldy for me to move by myself. Also too heavy for my 4'11" wife, especially with uncertain footing.

I still have 6 otos and 4 sidthmunki's. My cories have dwindled down to one - a metae. I was especially bummed in October when my oldest fish - a Cory Leucomelas died after more than 4 years. He was one of my first ever set of cories. Last spring I added 6 botia kubotais which are just starting to change to their adult color.

One a side note - I was at my LFS on wednesday and the prices being charged for C. Weitzman and C. Sterbai have now become reasonable. C. Adolfi, Melini, and Panda still seem to command high prices.

Pandas probably always will, they're kind of touchy about water parameters.
