Just picked up a new Canon Rebel XSi this week and thought I would post an update of my tanks.
240 Gallon CA/SA Mixed Community
This is an 8x2x2 foot tank I got from Glasscages last summer. Currently it houses a CA/SA mixed community of low to mid aggressive fish.
I have 5 Geophagus Altifrons, 4 of which are wild caught. Very cool fish. The 4 smaller ones are the wild caught and they squabble all the time.
I have recently added some assorted cryptoheros to the tank. Awsome group of fish, with some very nice colors. Not too aggressive and they don't get too big. Plus for the most part they will spawn at the drop of a hat.
Cutteri
HRP. Super awsome fish. I have a nice male and 3 smaller females. The females follow the male around like school girls after the quarterback. They also fight between themselves for the right to be his girl friend. One of them has won I think as she the the male have started digging a nest.
I also have 6 sajica that I am grown out to spawn. These are the blue ones and probably my fovorite fish.
I also have a group of myrnae that I hope to start spawning soon.
I also have a few differnt vieja/paratherps.
Peasi. I have two of these around 7" each. Very cool fish, but one has become dominate and chases the other around some. Other than that they don't bother anyone.
Synspilus
Heterospilus. I have three of these. One is a large male I got from Fishfarm and the other two are smaller ones I got from Rapps.
Melanurus. Just got this guy in from Rapps. Very pretty fish with turoquise eyes.
I have an odd ball Geo brasiliensis that I thought was a male when I bought it. Now I am not so sure. Pretty mild mannered fish.
Of course I still have my large robertsoni. He/she is now around 7".
For dithers I have 4 large (6-7") red hooks and a flagtail.
I have a few cats just to clean up a add something different. I have a 8" Rhino pleco, a synodontis decoris, a synodontis multipunatus, and a L368 pleco which is the coolest fish I own. He can flat beat up anything in the tank and he is only about 4" long. Lots of character.
My 120 gallon is an eartheaters heaven. All sand with live plants and some drift wood. Currently I have 5 large 6" heckelli, a breed pair of wild G. cf rhabdotus Rincon (which have fry in a 20 gallon that I am growing out), 5 F1 angels, and I just moved 4 of my sajica over from the 240.
Last but not least I have two 20L setup. One has a pair of cutteri that just laid eggs yesterday and the other has the rhabdotus fry growing out. I plan to move more pairs from the 240 to 20 gallons as soon as they form.
Hope you enjoy.
