Great looking tank and fish!!!! You have great taste when it comes to fish selection.

How do the spectabile fair in a community setting like that. Are they much more aggressive then your psittacus and sevs or similiar.

Great looking tank!! I am on the hunt for some of those spectabilis. Anyone one know where I can get some??

Can I ask...are you able to successfully breed and keep the fry in a community setting like that? What about the Severums?

Don't know at the moment but Ken Davis has them sometimes.I got a nice male from him last year.And a couple small ones after that but I lost them to agression.
