two picks of my leporinus, quite an interesting fish. a while back when i had first gotten him i posted a pick of my whole tank and CFC warned me about this guys aggression. man was he right. i have such a hard time getting tank mates for this guy, he is only bout 5.5 inches but he commands the whole tank. he has grown about 3 inches in 7 months which is pretty good. i have to keep the tiger barb count above 8 otherwise he starts to kill them off and i belive that the barbs will need to be rehomed in a few years as he will get big.


these are the most recent pics
that kirb in the second pic is my newest fish, he is about 4 inches for a size reference.

Very nice. Back when I knew nothing and took the advice of the lfs I got 2 of these little guys for my 3 foot community and they were fine at first then when they hit about 3" they just started to destroy every fish in the tank.

he's looking good. he'll be a right little terror when he's bigger!

this is a 10" one that's at london zoo's aquarium:

wow he is a big one! i noticed from other pictures and i think this holds for a lot of fish, they start to lose their striking colors as they get older.
