My cycle is complete (fishless) and have added my fish stock from the smaller tank (125ltr)to the bigger tank last week(450ltr)their all doing really well and think their behaviour to each other is better now everyone tolerates each other and ive now no shy fish,i added 8 buenos aires tetras aswell and think the tank looks great any comments would be appreciated.

I love my rainbows. They will clear their end of the tank of all other fish when they decide to breed though. I have a group of 8 in a 120 gallon 6 foot long tank and sometimes find all but 2 fish in a 3 foot section at one end. It is one of the first clues that my rainbows are getting ready for breeding again. I really like the colors they take on when breeding, like you can see in this one.

If you look closely, you will also see a few dozen fry in the picture. This picture includes the same fish when not in breeding colors. It is the little one in this picture.

Vander, in your second picture, what are the two 3-spot fish above what I assume is an Indian Leaffish?
