Great pics of some cool fish!

What's the striped guy on the second row? Leporinus?

Chris,

Thanks. I think it's called a 5 stripe barb or something like that. He's a dither I've had for like 5 years now. Seems indestructible.

Ahhhhhhh! The "Mystery-Dither!"

I know them well!

He's my Goliath tiger barb thingy at a humongous 4". He's hung in with some pretty mean fish over the years. I wish I could find more of them.

I liked the look of them at the lfs and was looking for some dithers for my micros and this one made it out of the 3 I bought. I like his stripes and he/she is pretty aggressive for a barb in a tank full of bigger cichlids.

SWEET...
I've been waiting to see what you've been working with, and you do have a nice collection...

Thanks for sharing

I know this is an old post. Do you still have the Theraps Coeruleus?
I am very interested in the species. I'd like to hear anything you have to say about them , behaviors, temperment etc.
Thanks
Tim
