Have you been looking at my tanks? I have 6 Boesmani and 3 of the smaller Praecox in my 55... I have yet to add bottom dwellers, but they are coming.

My research came up w/ one thing to be sure of... Lots of swimming room. They are very active like danios, although slightly less zippy. Mine are voracious eaters of everything. Frozen bloodworms seem to the fave.

I keep a mix of Boesmani and Praecox, and so far the Boesmani have been extremely hardy- no losses at all... The Pracox unfortunately not so much.

+1 I just finished using it on my 55 gal. 8)

I just picked up a combo of boesmani and praecox(dwarf neon) rainbows yesterday(6 each)... So far they all seem to shoal together more than tightly school...

I'm sorry about your loss... :( Small consolation that it is, at least you got to see him while you had him... I think I've seen mine on the glass maybe 2x in the last year

I'm pretty sure that is a dyed kissing gourami There is a link somewhere that has pictures of most dyed fish. I'm pretty sure that was on the site. Edit: Its a dyed Giant Gourami This is the site: www.deathbydyeing.org Click on dyed fish list its only a little way down.

I paid $24.99 at my LFS about a year ago for mine. He was about 2" then, now he's about 4" maybe 4 1/2"...

3 yoyo loaches made quick work of that problem for me (and my snails, too) :D

I was cruising the LFS yesterday and ran across a tank full of what were listed as Lyretail Balloon GBRs. Has anyone seen these? Are they just a natural mutation, or did they come from the Isle of Dr Morneau? They had the typical GBR coloration, but their bodies were very round(almost coins...

IME you could add Golden Nuggets to the list of anti-social carni plecos. If the L-66 acts like my GN, don't expect him to be any use in algae cleanup :P Mine spends most of his time chillin under a stump, then cruises around a lil before lights out, and occasionally chases the cories away...

You could fit a fairly substantial group of Endler's 8) and dwarf or panda cories...

Having measurable ammonia in tap water is not that uncommon. A well cycled tank should make short work of any ammonia introduced w/ a water change though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I really like the Hikari foods. :D As a base, I use the Hikari Micro Wafers instead of flakes. They are very easy to judge how much is eaten, my fish all seem to like it, and they seem to hit all levels of the water. I use both the Wardley Algae tabs and the Hikari Sinking Wafers for my...

I have a Golden Nugget Pleco, and when he's out- he is gorgeous... He hides too well, but has finally started coming out more often
