    That's easy, here is the tank when it was started in 1971.
    I moved it into larger glass in about 1979 when I moved into a larger house. I took it with me

    It has been here since then.

    I'm coming on 10 years with mine. The BTA is over 5 years old and I think the blue damsel is 8 or 9.
