Nice pics Joe. Thanks for sharing. I need to make one of these "road trips".

You're tank looked great the last time I saw it.

Wow. Beautiful display at GA. People have told me it's worth the trip just to window shop.

Joe,

Do you happen to know how many gallons that display is? Dimensions?

Liam they are Apogon parvulus some call them red dot cardinals

Here's a close up. http://glassbox-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/red-dot-cardinals.jpg

Have those cardinals always been popular or is that more recent? I've seen quite a few tanks over at RC with them recently.
