Very nice looking tank. Good job.

what kind of pleco is that?

crazycat · 09-12-2005, 11:29 PM

it's an L333--sometimes called "imperial king tiger" but i don't think that's necessarily the accepted common name.

Very nicely done.

Looks like a zebra variant to me?

Kickin' ! I love the way the vallis loops around itself on top when it gets really long.

What are those goldish with red and black stripes fish ?

Thx,

Dave

i wish it were jchillin! but right now i don't have the bucks to shell out for a zebra...

it's much larger than a true zebra--this guy is about 4" and will get to be about 6". it often confused with the L66. i have 3 L333s, and this guy is the best looking specimen! you can see another one of my L333s here:

thanks xzap--that's a real compliment coming from you!

those are puntius denisonii--also known as roseline sharks, torpedo barbs, redline sharks, denison barbs. you will see me often raving about them in various forums since i think they are one of the most beautiful fish out there! perfect community fish, very active, and they get to be about 6" or so. just gorgeous! i have another 8 coming to me next week--so i'll have a nice healthy school!

[acronym:7e99e369aa="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:7e99e369aa]...if you ever come across one...let me know

One of the [acronym:7e99e369aa="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:7e99e369aa] I frequent has the L333 and they identified it as a "Common" Zebra. What a nerve. I pointed out the difference and they stared at me.
