The first thing I'll tell you today is that the sick guppy died. We buried it in our backyard. R.I.P.
I was finally able to put the pictures on the computer, so here they are:
A pic on the guppies. The focus is a bit off on the red-tailed one, the tank is sparsely planted.
A pic of the corner of the tank. A barb and two neon tetras. They hang out with each other very well.
Another with the neons.
Another.
A full view of the guppy tank. This was before the sick one died, before we moved it into the quarantine.
A close up of 4 guppies. This was taken during the day, so the focus was just right.
The crayfish tank. (Sorry about the sideways pic. My mom carefully made the crayfish homes.
The white angelfish. The one on the front has a shrunk gill, I'd say injury.
More tetras/barbs.
The tetras don't stay in that other corner all the time, this one shows them on the other side. I also have an algae problem with the tree and gravel, we're hoping the two otos and the pleco will eat them.
The barbs. Actually, the focus is on the java fern in the background, which is doing well at the moment. We checked the java fern below this one and mysteriously, some leaves had disappeared. The gourami probably chomped at it.
Thanks for reading, next update coming soon.

Update 11/9/11
Sorry for the long break. Some new fish were added a week ago; 2 completely white angelfish, a pitbull pleco. Some were added today; our 29 gallon tank also received 3 neon tetras and 2 otocinclus. Last week, we stocked our 10 gallon tank with 7 guppies. All females we bought were pregnant, to our surprise. However, one guppy became completely sick and it seems as if it's whole front of it's mouth decayed with mouth rot (chondrococcus).
The problem with the 29 gallon is, is that the dwarf gourami is being extremely territorial and keeps nipping at the other angelfish. All three angelfish seem to be suffering from the dwarf gourami. The gourami chases the white angelfish around.
Again, in the 29 gallon tank, the male cherry barb is chasing all the females around. He doesn't nip, however, and I'm pretty glad we put in 3 females, the male isn't chasing one specific female around, which would be the case with one male one female. The other male seems to be dormant, he hasn't quite developed his bright red cherry color yet.
We also keep a 5 gallon tank. Although this 5 gallon tank isn't technically an aquarium, it houses a crayfish. We moved it from it's extremely dirty salad container last week and replaced it into the 5 gallon. It seems to be happy. :)
So, as of now, these are the fish we have.

Update
I forgot to talk about my 10-gallon tank. Obviously it's smaller, and it's planted with some Glossostigma and grassplant. It needs bright light, but it's not getting it. :/ I think we need to light it more, but my parents disagree. Anyway it's going to be stocked with guppies, but we haven't bought them yet.
There are now fish in my 29-gallon, 5 cherry barbs, 5 neon tetras and one dwarf gourami.
I want to post the pic onto the blog, but this computer doesn't have the pics. And I can't use the computer with the pics right now. Going to put in two more angelfish and probably some time of pleco this weekend. :)

My Aquarium
First post, for the win.
My family and me just bought a 29-gallon Aqueon Brand aquarium. It's been exactly one week since we put in the substrate. We transferred an anubias from our old 5-gallon tank, a giant tiger lotus, an aponogeton, and our old bogwood. We also situated the tank with a larger Mopani wood, we attached with some java fern today. Also planted some Glossostigma in the substrate, in the foreground. We do have some pics, but I'm going to ask my parents for me to publish it onto the internet...
