HUGE and tiny Claroteids by Sid (many pix)

First a really big one; it belongs to my cousin/nephew Marc, he's got a 720 liter tank, wich is also the home of "Ol' Blue Eyes" now.

Actually this is the re-decorator (and fresh evidence is lying behind him )

Face off:


Playing with the co-inhabitants: CAT & Mice -ehh- methynnis.....

Nice fish. How big are they?

Another question, how many tanks do you have?

[Sid Guppy]

the Auchenoglanis is passing the one foot mark rapidly. He's in the tank of my cousin; not any of mine. His tank is a 720 L riverine setup with Methynnis, a big Angelicus, dorads and some pleco's; including my Blue Eye.

the Lophio's are in one of mine; a 100 liter tank wich they share with 12 burtoni's, a tanganyikan dwarf spiny eel and a pair Ancistrus. Pa Lophio is about 6-7 cm, Ma is about 2 cm smaller; the baby is about 2,5 cm.

I have 9 tanks!
One is the big Tanganyika tank; 500 L
One is a small riverine tank; 128 L
3 are breeding tanks; 100 L each
2 are small breeding tanks; 50 L
and I got two 54 L; wich I use for all kinds of things; 1 houses an Australian Yabby, at the moment (Lobster), the other baby Axolotls.
