Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I'm so happy that my tanks and fish went to great homes and to great people. Looking forward to more updates in the future. Thanks again for helping me out!!!

Looks great Shawn! Glad it could go to a great home...looking forward to updates in the future :D

I checked the Lowes and Home Depot in the Olympia area and did not find any. I also checked all the local rock and gravel companies...still no luck. Hopefully I can find some somewhere, I think the caves would look really cool.

Does anyone know where to find feather rock? I'm interested in trying to make some caves. Anyone have experience with this? Here is the link that got me curious about making them: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/diy_featherrock.php

here is a picture of the male

It is just the female and the eggs in their own tank. One of the eggs looks darker than the rest. I think it is no good, but going to wait till morning and look at it again to be sure. The others have white on the ends, not sure if that is the developing fry or if the eggs are bad. I guess time...

This is the cheapest/safest epoxy resin I could find. I used it on my DIY background with no issues. It is by the spray paint section at Home Depot. If you ask for Super Glaze, they should know what you are talking about...

There is no bark. I just came home and found another angel dead:( How is it that all my angel fish are dying, yet the other fish are fine. I have a couple little corys, a bristlenose pleco, two clown loaches, 1 german blue ram, and 1 dwarf guarmi. This is so frustrating. It is my first time...
