Just a few.

The beach at Gibsons in the first few.
Kribensis - these are highly protective of their young and will nip/chase off even the biggest fish in the tank (the angelfish). Don't mess with these. You may be able to spot the young if you have good eyes. It was kinda amusing to see that when the Kribs with young were on one side of the tank - all the other fish were crammed into the other half.
A pretty dwarf gourami but I didn't like it as I'm sure it was responsible for the death of the red one.
View from my hosts' porch one morning.
A very stupid catfish. It kept going into the Kribs' territory as you'll see from the next shot.
Silly catfish...
Plecostomus. These suck up the algae. My hosts had various types - this one was a wee one. Some of them can get pretty big.
This fish got a bit squished during an eviction to the breeding tank and then after seemingly being ok went to fish heaven after spiralling divebombs and swimming in circles.
The big tank. This was about 55 litres from memory.
The guest room in the basement. My very kind hosts made this for me for the second year of my visit.
Lots of firewood. Not particularly interesting but I was helping my hosts grab some firewood one day after their work when news of a fallen tree reached us and it was dark, raining and there was a stream to navigate where the tree had fallen. A cop stopped during the middle of all this and started having a go about permits. My hosts had the right permits but it didn't stop him trying to give us hassle.
Lots of big fish in the Vancouver airport tank.
