Slough Shark

:welcome: and good luck with your setup!

:welcome: back to the hobby Nathin!!

Well yours sure looks well-fed! You've clearly done a great job raising him, are they a schooling fish? A small group of them would be amazing.

:drool: forget aros, I'm good for Pbass and dats!

Do you have any/could you get any pics of your Dat by itself. That is a gorgeous fish!!

Looking really good!!

Wow! That's a dream tank for anyone Did you run out of sand? :P

I have never seen pics that made these fish look as good as yours do. Very, very nice :thumbs:

That last fish looks like a Nic to me, you sure it's an Acara? Nice fish all of them though :thumbs:

:welcome: to the forum!

:welcome: what fish have you kept?

That second pic is pretty phenomenal Patrick. Gotta love it when you get near-perfect shot like that! (I must admit, these cichlids are proving to be a lot harder to photograph than any other fish I have tried).

Sweet shots Patrick

I have kept Betta pugnax, which is also a wild mouthbrooder type. The only advice I can offer is to cover every single space over the top of the aquarium. I haven't had to worry as much with domestic bettas, but these wild types can be... wild! I had to use paper with tape to cover every crack and they both found a way out, very frustrating.

That's definitely why I don't like bowfronts. Yours looks great though, good job :thumbs:

That sucks. I lost my mouthbrooding bettas that way too. One fish that is a really talented carpet surfer is my Weather Loach. Eight times and counting I have found him half-dried on the rug looking like fish jerky and he's always bounced back

:welcome: to the forum! I agree with you, goldfish are very underrated as a species. Aquarists should not forget where they began their hobby. I want to have a nice 500 gallon full of wild caught goldfish one day. That would be a sight :thumbs:

:welcome: to AA!

That looks so awesome!! Can't wait to see it all set up

Sweet photo :thumbs:

Good stuff Greg! Nice to see exactly how they behave and that pic is your best yet, your practise is paying off!

Thought so. I don't know of any other Cyprinodontid that is available for us here. They are a nice group of fish. Good luck with yours :thumbs:

Very nice setup :thumbs: What fish is that in the first pic of your second post? Is it a Cyprinodontid?

Awesome stuff :thumbs:

Or Neolebias ansorgii, sometimes known as "Landgraf's Tetra"???
