I'm sure there are thousands of rivers that look very much like that, all over the world. C. similis is from the Rio Madeira basin in the Southwest part of the Amazon basin.

Great looking tank looks very realistic. Looks like you have some happy healthy fish. One of them looks like a nicely rounded female. :YMAPPLAUSE:

Are you going to sell those at the LMcD (Local MacDonalds)?
I sell my fry at the LFS (Local Fish Shop)...

Have to make a joke like that, as "fries" is deep fried bits of potato, where "fry" is baby fish - and it's the same word for one fry as for a thousand fry - one of those strange words in English that doesn't change with the number of "things" - just like fish.

The funny thing when I met Jools the first time, he spoke Scottish dialect (still does, by the way) of English. Which is not really surprising, when you look at were he lives - yet, I was surprised when I heard it the first time.

When you READ what someone is writing, it all looks about the same [except when using dialectical words/word usage or writing "phonetically" (e.g. "darn sarf" instead of "down south", "y'all" instead of "you all" or "motosickle" instead of "motorcycle")].
