Wow!
Fantastic photos of beautiful fish.

I wonder if your gravel might be a bit sharp looking for the Corys???

The gravel looks fine to me. If it wasn't, the cories wouldn't have nice looking barbels.

the gravel isn't sharp fortunately, but i had to use finer sand, that was a mistake when i was setting up the tank , next time...

Is that algae wafer enormous or are the plecs just tiny More great pics by the way

I expect the algae wafers are Hikari ones, which are about 1.5cm, or about 0.6" in diameter.

Mine are Tetra Pleco Wafers, only around 1cm. They look like they're just cut from a sheet of algae paste and dried. They actually taste OK, but it's the aftertaste that gets you!

beautiful pictures of beautiful fish! If I might ask, at what temperature are you keeping your rhinogobius wui? Any tips on their care?

Such great pics!!

thank you all for the kind reactions!

The wafers are indeed the big Hikari ones!

the temperature in the rio 240 tank is 24 to 26 celsius, but rhino's prefer cooler water, about 22 degrees celsius, they are easy to keep,deepfrozenfood like bloodworms, dapnia's ,artemia's, they like sometimes shrimppallets as well.

I am sure it says in here somewhere but what food do you feed, besides fresh and frozen, I mean what tablet or prepared pellet or whatever? Brand? Your fish are amazing!!

The're about 5 to 6 cm long and they can stick like an oto. on the aquariumglas, they can dig holes like my rhino's(former rhinogobius wui) or disapear under the fine sand like floanders(achirus achirus). They eat everything:dryfood,algaetablets,shrimppallets and also bloodworms,artemia's,dapnia's(fresh and deepfrozen).

Beautiful tank and fish!

Thanks Violence!

fantastic pictures as always i love this thread!

Thanks NewFishkeeper!

I got a lot of new pics:

do your pl*cos come out like that in the daytime, or with the lights on to eat all the time or are you using night vision or what? Seriously, that's amazing.
