the biggest unidentified lizard type, ( in the center, in front of the pagoda ), typically stays on the back glass, in the bubble waterfall, among the bamboo stalks... and 5 seconds later, went back to it's normal spot, hidden in the back

the Panda Garras must have still been sleeping, as they usually photobomb any pictures of this tank... with 5 adults in this tank, and as rambunctious as they are, it's unusual to get a picture without at least one in the photo...

zooming this picture, the fish has quite a big belly, maybe a female??? as it doesn't eat any prepared foods except an algae cookie occasionally, I say "unidentified", as it has grown to nearly twice the size of the species it was supposed to be... I originally had a couple, but over the years, this one is the sole survivor of this species here...

they are all working a problem algae spot ( not really a problem, as I haven't cleaned the glass in this tank for 3 months ),

but a spot, that I can't fully remove a stubborn algae... the fish do a great job, keeping the rest of the glass clean, and graze this spot a lot, but can't seem to remove it fully either... the larger of the "sting ray" shaped fish is a Sewellia albisuera (gold ring)

the larger one, was not purchased as this, but I currently believe it is one of these...


here stated as getting as big as 10 cm, mine is just slightly larger than that..
 
I have always fancied setting up a tank for these fish. They look really cool and I bet its an interesting tank for you
