New updated Pix of my fishroom!!! *mega load warning*20 pics

[Passionate 4 pikes]

Apisto haters stay away!!!

He let me use his canon rebel XT again any suggestions? i use Tissue paper taped on top of the flash to dim the lighting.
i really want to get better so if anybody has any suggestions about them that would be great. for give the background, i know its ugly.
many of these fish have never been on the internet before, so you better enjoy them!

First up, a yawn shot. one of my best actually.

next is a unidentified apistogramma speices. inspecting an interesting hyacinth root.

Third is a relation to the otocinclus i think. it is about three inches,
['V']onster otocinclus eh?

next is a unidentified predatory characin i caught on the rio negro. check my second blog for a full story.

Fifth: do you like you upside catfish? i dont care much for them so i bought me an upside down cichlid.

sixth is my largest efasciatus at about 5 inches. she had terrible fin rot but has healed wonderfully.

i think this is a l095 pleco. not exactly sure

8 is an unidentified catfish. he stays hidden most of the day and when he does come out he is always moving thus the few pics!

i bet very few people mfk has seen a live one. they are called basketmouth cichlids aka acaronia nassa.

last is a juvi acara.

Nice pictures. Do the hyacinths thrive in the home aquarium? I had a ton in my outdoor pond and brought them in for the winter. The air / water temp in the basement is 60 degrees, but they're not fairing too well. I was going to move them all to heated water and hope for the best.

And more pix!!!
now the fun begins!

First two pics is the oscar i love his orange speckles. dont worry he was only in the tank for a little bit while i shot some pics.




third pic is my agassizi with my splash tetra.



fourth is my heros juvinile efasciatus. I caught her a couple months ago and she has really grown.



next is my otocinclus being a pain and sucking on my irwinni



6th is a better agassizi shot.



another shot of my unidentified apisto.



now for one of my favorite fish Taeniacara candidi in full splendour!



this is why the acaronia nassa is called the basket moth cichlid

they need lots o flight and warm water. i think humidity helps too. sorry i cant really help you. i just am keeping them in the tanks for a little while cause the pond sprung a leak.
thank you.

No problem, I appreciate the response. I was only asking because the woman I got them from kept them in her greenhouse, but it would get cold in there. Mine started making a comeback when I added more lights. During the last two weeks they've taken a serious turn for the worse. I'm going to put them in a tank and start heating them. The humidity could be a problem, too. It's less than 50% in my basement.

What is it eating when i took the picture or what does it eat. if you meant what was it eating in the picture the answer is nothing i had to take him out and hold his lip.
he eats live fish if that was what you meant.
