I've been obsessed with maheers, and misc predatory cyprinids as of late. So far, I've managed to get my hands on Tor Putitora, Spinibarbus Hollandi, Red Kelah, Hampala Macrolepidota, with my eye on a few more. I can't wait to get them a bigger tank so they've got some room to swim and grow.

Such a nice mix. Love them brackish too.

Thanks Ken. You're partly to blame with that crazy mahseer pond over there. And are you referring to the small scale archer, Toxotes Microlepis? I've got him in full fresh and he's a beast. I'm working on a group of Burmese Archers to grow out next.

Very nice! Ive been on the hunt for some predatory barbs also.

Stay on the hunt. The cool ones are out there.

Nice carp

Smh

wow.. now that is nice!!!!!!

Thanks Li. Everybody is still small so well have to revisit this in a couple of months when everyone packs on some size.
 
masheers are awesome!

Absolutely. They make everything else seem lazy. And you're the reason I grabbed that little Spinibarbus Hollandi you see in the video. I can't wait until he's big like you're guys.

What lighting do you have on that tank, Mike? And is the inside painted black or the outside?

I use LEDs Alex. And I paint the back of all my tanks.
 
I knew they were LED's lol, I was wondering what kind because it looks like the perfect amount of lighting without being too bright.
