Default Bringing a dead tank back to life (Update)

Back in July, I posted about how I restored a neglected tank of mine. The
tank is now completely filled in with plants (carpeted with "pygmy"
vallisneria), and the killifish I got to restock the tank are breeding.

My first spawn was two weeks ago this past Saturday, and I have about a
dozen healthy fry who are eating baby brine shrimp, daphnia and grindal
worms. Had my second spawn yesterday, with another 8 fry.

Last week I got one of those Python No-Spill water changers. I have no idea
how I lived without this thing for so long. It used to take me about an
hour to do a 50% water change on my 55g tank, now it takes about 20 minutes.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone with fish tanks, it takes all
the work out of changing the water.

I'll post some fry pictures in alt.binaries.aquaria sometime this week.
