A few months ago I mixed things up and got rid of almost all of my CA's and put together a SA tank. Here's a few shots.

Wild G. abalios (I have 8)




Wild S. daemon (I have 2)






F2 manacapuru angels (I have 4)


Wild Aequedins sp. (I have 4)

Great pictures. South Americans are fine fish to keep, I'm keeping tapajos and winemilleri with severums and........crenicichla!! Do you have any full tank shots? Would love to see their habitat

Lovely looking fish, all that's missing is a few cats from the same region!

where's Shamu?
In solitary confinement across the room.

Sorry guys, I've been busy playing with large fish at work.

Tank needs some work. I need to bite the bullet and get a 3D background for it. I was trying out live plants, and came to the realization that I just don't care enough about plants so they look prettttttty crappy. Otto's and tetras get sucked over my overflows, so I need to work on that.

I didn't take the time to get out the nice camera so here's a really crappy full tank shot. Nothing special.
