Ok, now I can get a little more impatient. :)

Wow Feldon, you're making me jealous! It sounds wonderous! We're all pulling for you, Jim!

That sounds all great! Thank you for the good news!

WOW that sounds great, can't wait to seeeeeeeeeeeeee *ggg*

ditto and can't wait.....:TU: :cheers: :cowboy:

Oh yeah, can't wait!
 

This is pretty exciting alright. Just a note on the size of neons; they can get pretty big in a large aquarium, maybe up to one and a half inches long if they live long enough. Other tetras get even bigger. (I'm sure you already know this, Jim. I say it only because tetras are my favorite freshwater tropicals: the more and the bigger, the better.)
Feldon 27, you're right about reflectivity enhancing the scales on the Goldfish. They would look even more real.
Hey Jim, do you have any plans for a Plecostomus or loaches in the freshwater tank? I know you probably can't say, but I'm just fishing... :)

The bubble from the treasure chest behaves like mercury while it is rising to the top. Truely spectacular. I have seen some good animation before but all of it seems kind of like a cartoon. Jim's bubble breaks that mold. It IS real!!!!

klyntun -

These are Cardinal Tetras, about 1.5 inches long.

Plecostomus, yes.
Clown Loach, yes.

Wow Frank- I know what you mean about most animations looking like a cartoon, just circle and so was not really interested in a treasure chest- your description makes the bubbles worth waiting for! Thanks.
And Jim- those plecos are one of my favorites (yeah- maybe thats weird...)

Jihaw, clown loach, will it be at the ground? Or will it swim like other fish. I hope it's always on the ground and tries to hide all the time, like in real life :D

I've been watching Clown loaches for about a week, and these seem to spend little time on the ground. The Plecostomus spends nearly all its time on the ground, and will do the same in the Freshwater Tank.

Jim,
Will the Plecostomus have a shadow (that is, if it comes within a few inches of the gravel) similiar to how the starfish has one?

Will this aquarium have diffuse lighting like the Saltwater Aquarium?

Yes.
Yes.

My plecos are on the glass most of the time-- can we hope for the pleco to do the starfish bit for this aquarium?
-Shay

There's a good chance.

Ah ok, does anyone has a picture of it? My Clown loaches were night active and tried to hide at daylight...

That would be awesome!

Working on a Tiger Barb today.

That's a pretty scroungy-looking one.
