It's been a few months since I took a video of my tank and figured I could do an update. The smaller Bifa (I bought it at about 2" when the other Bifa was about 8")... isn't small anymore. It's the biggest fish in the tank and the boss now. It's a girl to boot! The Midas is coming along and has really nice markings, and appears to be a male. The GT is rather lacklustre but is forming an enormous nuchal hump for a GT, and is finally packing on some size in recent months. The others haven't changed too much since the last update... except the Escondido which is obese now haha.

Hope you guys enjoy the video, and make sure to set it in 1080p if your connection can handle it! :)

Nice tank. I'm surprised the Midas and Escondido aren't ruling the tank.

Not at all. The only fish that displays true aggression, rather than dominance, is the Melanurus. I only experience a minor squabble every month or two. I suspect the Midas will take over once he gets a little bigger, but he's just too small at the moment.
 
Very nice tank and mix of fish. The Escondido appears to be a female because of the dark blotch on the back. It is not obsese and may be carrying eggs. The GT has a nice hump, and could look better if he is more dominant. The two bifas seem to be ruling the tank. What size and sex are they?
