Very nice! I love the live plants.
I'm in the middle of getting my self together to get back into the whole fish scene. Awhile back I use to breed Bettas, and now I think I might want to get into Killi fish.

Killis are awesome. I used to have a pair of Gardneri killis, and they were so cool. I have a spare 20L that I either want to set up as saler, or, more likely, a shelldweller tank.

Gardneris are sweet, they kinda remind me of wild type Bettas. A shelldweller tank sounds interesting.
These are the ones I'm interested in, http://www.peterkilli.com/photo_eggersi_red.htm It's a shame that they are so short lived.

I plan on ordering the eggs then raising them. Seems like not too many people keep this specific species here in the US...

Yeah, I'm not really very familiar with them. They look really great though.
