This is the other tank that I have at home (I still have one more at work
).
It's a 3x2x2 that's a bit of an embarrasment to me, as it's quite an ugly tank and waaaayy overstocked. This problem is already in the process of being remedied as I've ordered a 6.5x2x2 setup that will be installed in my new place as soon as I have the keys and the designer is finished (1-2 months max) ... so comments regarding this are unnecessary.
The fish seem to be doing well, considering their circumstances. There are sometimes scraps between the jar, oscar and clown knife, but these only result in a few scratches. They have all been together for a 6 months or more, so I hoping that they'll get more and more stable with time.
There are also a few strange tankmates, including 2 african cichlids
These are leftover from my other tank (the one I converted to planted) and my not-so-informed aquarist experiences. When I move to the new place, I'll give the jewelled cichlid to an LFS, but I wanna try keep the yellow lab ... he always looks in great condition, he's very active and full of personality.
The African pike characin is the latest addition. I've been wanting one for a while, but hadn't ever seen them here. Today there were a couple in an LFS (an awesome 24 hour one, but that's another story) so I decided to try one. So far he's been doing fine and the big guys have been leaving him alone. I know it was a bit irresponsible, but hopefully he'll makes it until I get the new tank.
Anyway, here they are ... enjoy!
