Mixed 180g CA/loach tank update

[Psylant]

Thanks guys!

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?

Thanks. Trust me, that Escondido is a whale. It's ALWAYS fat, and has been for months. It's a pig and moves very little lol. I don't like the GT very much... It's not very iridescent, and more or less my gf's fish. His hump has only started to appear in the last 2 months or so. The Bifas definitely rule the tank. They accept the Regani near their side of the tank (left side in the video) so long as it doesn't get too close. Nothing else gets near them. I think the Bifa are male and female but I'm not sure. They're both about 11-12" if I had to guess, and very thick. The "female" is slightly larger than the male now, and much thicker. They're my favorite fish in the tank besides the big clown loach. I'd highly recommend them.

Really nice looking, those Bifa must be huge.

Between them and those huge loaches the 180g looks small!

I have plans in the works for that. I hope it comes to fruition!

The Regani is the easiest one to take nice pictures of. It will pose for days on end, and the colors show up well. All the others are quite fidgety. Here's a pic I took: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=880057&d=1357022797&thumb=1
