Thanks for all of the compliments!
mark7616: Yeah, you're probably right. I just had a look on the internet at different
pulcher and
microlepsis and
microlepsis definitely looks more like the fish. I IDed him a long time ago and never really looked again, so thanks for correcting me!
Catfish Are Cool: The geo's are one of my favorite fish to own. I find them to be very interesting, since they have a different way of feeding and acting compared to other cichlid species. They are not completely docile (they definitely have the ability to defend themselves), but they are not anywhere near as aggressive as most SA cichlids.
jayjay: The
Satanoperca are bipolar, haha. They can't stand being away from each other at all, but since they are both males (or what I think are two males), they bicker amongst themselves. The less dominant one has a few split fins from being nipped at by the more dominant one.
I've actually thought about adding a group of
Geophagus sp. "Red Head" Tapajos (probably about 6). Then I would love to have different bicher species and oddball cats. The tank is also going to have more plants when I'm finished with it. I am going to add onion plants to the back, behind the large wood, and allow them to grow really long across the top of the water, to make the tank even more dim. I'll probably add more amazon swords to the right and get rid of the pathetic apono over there.
Here's a video of my Synodontis decorus. My camera was way to slow to take a picture of him, so I had to resort to video...
He's a little more than 8" at the moment and I've had him for around 2 years.
