Distichodus sexifaciatus, a carachin from africa. The only african fish Ill keep. they get big to boot.

You'd probably keep bichirs...;). I agree about the Distichodus sexifaciatus. Love them, but for some reason they are difficult to find. I'd take either Distichodus sexifaciatus or Distichodus lusosso any day!! Anything else from Africa though, I would prefer not to keep...haha. South American ALL THE WAY!! Tankz lookin great bro! ;)
 
;) nice looking little fish
 
Heres some updated pics after 3 months. All healthy and growing nicely.

nice festaes, rob.
you got these from ocean blue, no? they look familiar :)
i honestly can't tell their gender because of the uniform reddish color they have at the moment. let me know when you want to drop in a true male festae (~4.5" TL) in there and see whether that colors some of the ladies up ;)
 
Maybe on thurs. Im gonna hafta net up those haits for you so I might as well throw a pair if not all of them in a different 60 before they start maturing all of the sudden and develop their distaste of all plant matter. And yeah, they are OBlue fish. Talk to you later homie.
