pickup these up on Friday, three dog characins. These are Acestrorhynchus falcatus, they will go with the Acestrorhynchus falcirostris after some tank shuffling. These have proven difficult to get of off the live stuff so they are being fed exclusively on feeders like the falcirostris.

Picked this guy up on Saturday, an African Pike Characin (Hepsetus odoe). Around 7"-8" at the moment and I am trying it in with the dorado. Keeping a close eye on things just incase the dorado turns nasty. No big issues so far.

Nice pickups. They all look really good. Hope the Hepsetus odoe works out with the dorado, that would be sweet.
 
nice pick ups rick:thumbsup: getting a sweet collection going over the pond:D
 
The Hepsetus odoe is very nice.
 
Very nice! Try feeding your falcatus live black worms. Throw a pinch full in the tank. Mine used to love them...then once they start with the black worms it should be easier to feed them prepared foods like small cut up shrimp.
