A few of my other fish

Thanks people. The afer used to be highly aggressive but somehow seems to have calmed down. Maybe the presence of the silver.

Here is a video of my clarias swimming, I'm not exaggerating when I say he swims around almost 24 hours a day, only resting for 5 mins sometimes. He is one of the most active fish I've owned. I thought they were meant to be hiders? lol

BTW the vid is incredibly small, it was taken on my phone

Yup, had it for about a year and a half, really cool fish. Eats loads, but still slow growing

Thanks Joey and Red Devil

Nice fish Joe,

When did you go to a bare tank? You didn’t used to have a bare tank did you? I love my Clarias but he is a &^%^$ with Cichlids he completely descaled my Oscar at one point.

Red - actually when I first got him at about 5 inches as I remember, he was semi active. Hid half the time. Since about inches he has been hyper active like this, he is honestly like this 90% of the time.

Stotty - mine is an unusual clarias, he really is just a big dopey puppy, he has never hurt anything, and the biggest fish he has eaten is a molly. My tank now just had a light layer of sand and some driftwood. You're right it used to have more sand and plants.

The simply reason for this is most of the sand has been syphoned out and I can't buy any sand here The plants died and I can't buy plants here either, I got the other ones from a river.

Due to the appreciation of the loisellei and interest in platinum bichir, I have taken some more pics, just uploading, be with you in a minute

OK here is a closer look at the loisellei, excuse the blur, he didn't stay still, but you can see his colours and patterning

And now some plat bichir shots, he even shines ...

Next to normal bichir

Swimming

Here he is bullying the smaller normal bichir...

And here are a few shots of my very shiny, very colourful, and very aggressive aro. I don't know what to do with this fish. Just yesterday he killed my long time resident 6 inch pictus, a little warrior of a fish And my clarias has a big cut on his side too.

Excuse the blur, he was moving fast today.

And finally a video of my aro in motion, you can also see platinum bichir swimming, and a rare moment of the clarias resting

Great looking Arrow ..I am sorry he is aggressive, because your fish are beautiful and certainly would not want any hurt or killed ..sorry about your pictus... your arrow sure is shiny and colorful and healthy. What do you feed him? I found when my Arrow is getting too much protein in his diet he is active and jumpy when i give him a little less he is calmer and less aggressive..
