Looks like some serious flow in that tank Ken. Awsome

Thanks. The funny thing is I haven't changed a thing from day one (over two years now). Just one water change per week. Clean the glass some times.

Nothing new. Just another progression update. Feed them, change water, feed them, change water,.........Getting boring.

I'm pretty sure you've gone vegan. Planted tank, plant wall and salmon salad. You can't deny it.

Purchased as Salminus Franciscanus but noticeable differences between the teeth and snout.




Possible Salminus Brasiliensis (below)?

Definitely a huge difference in face shape. Are there other distinguishing factors?
