Well, let's see if this works.

Your hex has lots of plants and that stump to hide in. Nice. I had blue rocks in my tank at first, but switched to natural when I got Squirt because the shrimp (and some mollies I had in there before) were eating the blue off.
You can see Squirt in the lower right of the pic above for size reference. He's about 2 cm long.
While you have 3 puffers in your tank, make sure to take frequent water tests (not the strips) and water changes.
I"ll see if I can find a more updated pic.

I don't know- it just let me?? I take all my pix at 10 megapixels. They are usually HUGE. Actually, there have been people who have posted pix here that go off the page! They've been asked to resize.
Ok.... I actually have never had fish before now- except back in 1993 when I had a 10 gallon "mixed". I just bought whatever looked good and chucked them in. No water treatment, no cycling, no compatibility or salinity considerations- nothing! So I don't know much about fish except what I've learned in the last couple months. What else do you have with that angel fish?

I don't have an angel! This is a pic I saved off of Wikipedia or something. I've got my 5 gallon with 2 scared to death snails (Bullet's already picked off their antanae, and now the snails won't come out, so I think I'm going to take them out) 3 ghost shrimp, and my 3 DP's, Bullet- the brave male (he's got some red on his fins too) Bug, the semi-brave female, which is REALLY bright yellow, and DJ, the really shy female. In my 10 gallon I've got my red wag male platy, 2 female high fin platies, 2 spotted cories, and 3 tiger barbs.

Okay, how did you get your picture on? Here's Bug.

See! How did you get those pictures up? And so clear! Jeez. Oh, I changed my avatar, although it isn't a picture of one of mine DP.

I saw you got a pic up! I have a hard time sizing the pix SMALL enough to go in that avatar box. The one now is my first puffer, Mr Green, and you see how pixellated it is.
I swear I just click upload.

They're clear because they are on a high setting, I guess. Plus, I have a fairly good camera that I've had 6+ months' practice with. That said, I have some funny blurry LONG stripes pictures that were supposed to be the danios I had. hehe

I'm changing my settings on my camera. I'll go take some pics now. And if I can't upload them, then I'll give you the Flickr link again. I saw your gallery. Nice. I only have one blurry pic of Bug.
