Are they the Indian Cichlid?

Yup, one of three species of asian cichlids.

Etroplus suratensis - Green chromide
Etroplus maculatus - Orange chromide
Etroplus canarensis - Canara pearlspot cichlid or Banded chromide

If only you could teach your fish to paint. Thanks for sharing those rare fish. How many tanks are you running now? Fresh water mullet are pretty neat. And ofcourse I'm a wolffish finatic!

How many tanks are you running now?

I'll have to go and count. I stopped counting at about 105. I'll count them again once these new big tanks are in...and I finish mounting 12 tanks over the 150s and 180s...and the pallet of 260s arrives...and I finish the stand/filtration for the 270...

hey phil,

why don't you start a picture thread of many of the fish you've owned in the past, and your fossil collection, and whatever else you have, maybe a crab farm or something....haha

Wow! I wish I had a tank over a 100g

I'll try to get the time to, at least, get a bunch of the fossil fish posted this week.

Until then, here's a fossil (not a fish) of a hatchling dinosaur called Keichousaurus hui from the Triassic Period.

And since this is also not a fish (for the thread), here's a fossil lobster from the Cretaceous Period of the UK (both sides of the concretion):

awesome stuff phil, the juvie dinasour, is that from China? You should take a afternoon off while waiting for pain to dry and take pictures of all the fish you want to post up!
