So today at the LFS that I work at I picked up 2 new wonderful cats. I got a striped Raphael and a Spotted Raphael. I know they're not monsters, but even the guy I worked with commented on how the spotted was one of the most beautiful specimen that he has seen. It is about 2" and the striped is a little smaller. I also got two plants that a customer brought in to go in the 55 with them.

The one plant has long thin blades and he said it will grow to take over a tank, it will also have an extensive root system. The other has darker broad leaves that are kinds wavy on the edges, it has a bulb, I'm not really sure what either are called, he told me, but I don't remember. They look very nice in the tank tho.

So that tank has 4 rocket gar, and ID shark all are about 5-6" and there is a senegal that is about 4.5" then the two new cats. I'm very excited, I think it is now one of my favorite tanks!

I wish, but my camera situation here is really lame, it would be a blurry outline of what a tank looks like, with a bunch of streaks that represent fish.

One a good note, the spotted ate some sinking cichlid food as soon as I let him out.
 
Great pickup!!

I've always been a fan of the Doradidae cats. I've had my spotted raph cat for about 15 years, and I think I would cry like a little baby the day he passes.
