I recently shunted all the brackish fish out of the front room tank and into fish house so i could have a bit more colour on display and not have the huge algea problems that come with brackish water, you can see the back is still covered in algea which i am slowly removing a bit at each water change.

Anyway this is what it looks like now

i just realised that poxy Leporinus managed to get in every shot :lol:
 
thoses "TRUES" are beautiful, not being rude but how much doe they set you back?


i think i paid £25 each for them when they were about 2" long
 
lovely tank there CFC, beautiful fish, there is still a good size Brycon in wildwoods you know ;)
 
Very nice CFC. I have a soft spot for Brycons. :)

Also, those parrots have grown a lot since you first got them! The colors are finally starting to show.
 
have the same type of Leporinus and had no idea that they were a brackish fish, mine is currently in a freshwater 75 gal, will he comfortable in the freshwater?
 
Why is it that you take time out of your everyday life to show pics of fantastic fish that i DONT have? GRRRRR. The nerve of people.



* Nice Pics*

It is a freshwater tank, it used to be brackish but i moved all the brackish fish and water out so i could make it freshwater again.


Is it a Brycon hilarii Kewskills? I was down there a couple of weeks ago and they only had that big silver one with the black stripe and the dorado which i think might be a Brycon whitei. If they have more hilarii i'll be down like a shot but i want to try and keep a same species group.
 
Those parrots have come along miles since I last saw them!

Very nice and good to see you have some sexy fish on display now :p
