I also got some Anubias Barteri & some onion plants. The onion plants went in the 18 gallon with the fish above. Here is the tank as of today.

I think I'm IN love with my little puffs! I have named them all types of cheese.... because... cheese puffs... :look: I walk up and they float up to me like little hummingbirds and stare at me with their chameleon eyeballs. :wub:

They eat brine shrimp and their tummies get all poofy... soooo cute. I'm giving them tiny little Malaysian Trumpets because I have zillions to spare. I hope they like em. :hyper:
 
you keep them together? :hyper:

what else is in their tank? :D
 
For right now it's just them. I'm going to wait a few weeks and see how aggressive they end up. If they seem pretty docile I might get them some cories or little loaches. I'm thinkin kuhli :nod:

They seem to love the java moss I gave them, I made a few piles and each has claimed their own. I got these guys at a different petstore then the other fish. The other fish aren't doin so hot. This was the first time I had been to this store so I didn't know their reputation, but none seem too healthy. And if I loose any rainbows it's gonna piss me off because I've never seen those at any other store to make another school. :X
 
I have kept dwarf puffers with corys, dwarf chain loaches and a fw goby, no obvious problems. Unfortunately they didnt feed very well as all they would take was snails and thus they didnt last longer than about 6 months :(.

How did you get such great pics? I've been trying for months and keep coming up with blurry mush.

I gave up my threadfin rainbow, I saw one at a store and couldn't resist buying it cuz they look really cool, but it was the only one and didn't know there schooling. My Red-Tailed Black Shark constantly picked on it, so ended returning it, and because couldn't find any more and the people didn't know what it was. But anyway cool fish but very small and they look really cool when they flare there fins.
 
Beautiful Tanks, beautiful pictures!!
