I don't think I've shared these guys yet here...figured I should do so. These are the biggest rainbowfish I've ever seen, much less owned, the biggest is 6.5"...they came with the tank and apparently are over 10 years old. No idea what type they are, maybe some sort of Iranian Red mix. Also have a good sized angel in there that was a "take it or I flush it" case. And of course my little leopard ctenopoma, he is probably my favorite in the tank, pushes the rainbows out of the way for food.
Yes the rainbows are injured in one way or another...one appears blind in one eye, one was a tumor or something just above it's pectoral fin, and the other obviously has a mangled back and is affectionately called the Hamburglar

It's probably not the best stocking ever...but I kind of promised I would keep those rainbows. I'd hate to move them again too, they came from a pretty bad spot. The fish do seem to get along OK, but sometimes I worry if the activity level of the rainbows bother the other two?
