Time to annoy everyone with more fish pictures :laugh: .

No new residents, just new pictures.

Mr. Kykesis and his girlfriends enjoying New Years dinner. You can really see the colours coming in on him, yellow strip across the top of the sailfin, orange on his chest and black stripes on his tail fin. The girls look great also, nice round bellies.

I'm not sure, in this one, if my dwarf cray wanted his picture taken or if he was just giving me the finger !

A few Cherry Shrimp and H. Formosa snacking on a sinking wafer.
Interestingly, right after I was whining about not seeing any baby shrimp, suddenly a few shrimp show up, about half the size of the others . :rolleyes:

Mr. Poecilia latipinna, Rio San Antonio, with his girlfriend. You can't really see how pregnant she is, but she's HUGE. Amazing colours on these fish also.

CANA you take our picture too? If you don't get it, you need more snails.

A family portrait, Canas and baby Canas. ( The new hatchlings are on the left of the Cana that's out of the water )

I DO have gold Canas .... Actually, I thought they were more of a brown than gold, but gold sounds better, so I'll go with gold. ;)

You may want to talk to Mr. Mykiss about the shrimp, they came from him . If he's out of them ( which I doubt ), I'll save a few for ya !

Well I have a tankload of Gold Marisa that I'd be happy to send you in return...lol...that reminds me, best go place a Classifed. My plantless space is limited and they're growing like weeds. LIKE more Gold Cana's will help that situation :rolleyes: .

Your Spixies should be hatching out too, but they're pretty tiny at first.

Nice pics.
Those little crays are cute as soon as I can find some Cambarellus Shuffeldtii I will be getting a couple. Have heard they are awesome at getting rid of pest snails and will even eat small mts.
Blainep you keep your shrimp in with your H. Furmosas and they are okay together? I have Cherries and Blue together right now and would like to separate them but some would have to go in with my H. Furmosas, but was not sure how they would do.

My Cherries do OK with the H.Formosa. Only problem I've had is getting baby shrimp. I have a strong suspicion that many baby shrimp become snacks.

The crays do take care of the smaller snails. Whenever they catch one they can handle, nothing but a clean shell is left.

Well I am not getting any baby shrimp now, and they are in with 2 bns and snails. Have not even seen a female with eggs. But if I ever did I could separate the female to a safer tank.
Thanks for the help.
