Scientific Name: Moenkhausia pittieri
Common Name: Diamond Tetra
Overview: Easy, hardy fish, great for beginners. Eats a wide variety of foods, especially likes freeze dried blood worms. Do best in larger groups, I had two for two years and once I added three more they really started schooling nicely.

Three year old Diamond Tetra (curious Neon behind him):

Be gentle, this was taken with my cell phone, a LG Dare.

Betta splendens
Siamese Fighting Fish
water: 75-86ºF

Beautiful fish with great personality. Enjoys warm, slightly acidic water and thrives on live food. Usually kept solitary; can be kept in a peaceful, quiet tank.

This was actually the first non-red I had ever seen.
