My catfish

[fishguy1978]

I moved the three Akysis prashadi to the pea puffer 29g so that the c. eques tank will be S. American.The 2 parrot doradids are in with the eques. I still need to catch the kooli loach.
Careful hand catching catfish. One of the a. Prashadi stung me and my finger throbbed for a bit.

Dianema urostriatum

I'm not sure if the red is stress or just normal coloring as this one came in this way.

 

[fishguy1978]

Female, normal anal fin.

Males, modified anal fin.

Doing water changes and filter cleanings so I caught all nine Centromochlus musaicus to sex. 5 males and 4 females. Moved three of the males to other tanks as I noticed torn fins.

There has been some friendly teasing about my fish that never get seen. So, here are four of them

Feeding time!!

 

[fishguy1978]

My F1 eques spawned either yesterday evening or very early this morning. I leave my tanks unheated during the summer so they have had a 3mo cool period. Saturday I did a 50% water change with cool water and turned the heaters back on. Yesterday, the male were chasing the females and moving into a T position but I didn’t notice the females being receptive. I feed Ken’s .5mm green fry feed normally with occasional live black worms, frozen blood worms and fresh water krill.
I removed 6 eggs but there is a large mat of Java moss that they spawned in and I’m not going to remove that. Tank includes two parrot dorradids and a small school of harlequin rasboras.
Swordtail is two tanks over. Closest is the eques tank.

Saw a couple eggs in the C eques tank. Fingers crossed

I love your tank pics, it's like a 'Can you find the fish?' puzzle.

I was super excited to pick up 5 more B splendens Tuesday but when I added them to the tank and got a closer look, nope. The are C aeneus so I called Petco and talked with Dan the fishguy. He offered to let me return them but I will keep them. He did confirm that the order he received did come in miss identified . He keeps 14 different cory sp in his 125g so he does know his corys.

Sitting and observing my Tatia intermedia during feeding. One male has darkened and lost the honeycomb/spotting pattern. Also of note is that the tail pattern changed too. He doesn’t have the vertical wavy bar, just dots. The female has retained her pattern and bar on the tail.
