Just over a 1,000 freshwater fish to do now lol I have already loaded in Identification links for each species on MPI list with corrections for current binomial name and a ? if i can't find them. Where there is a family of fish that come from the same area and water conditions and care I have made a generic listing and copied and pasted for each species. Example is Ancistrus This fish is from South America: The family are commonly known as Bristlenose Catfish as they have fleshy tentacles found on the head of adult males; females possess tentacles along the snout margin but they are smaller and they lack tentacles on the head.

Sorry I keep forgetting I use this as copy and paste into the entry box, then search google and use fishbase, Planetcatfish or seriouslyfish to garner information to fill it out, and include any other info that may be pertinent to a viewer. compatibility, aggression etc. Threadfin Acara http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/acarichthys-heckelii/ Size: 14.0 cm PH range: 7.0 – 7.2; Water Hardness: 5-15.

Finally got a halfway decent video of the Scorpion fish i have grown on since last year.from a larvae caught in plankton net. la

I usually find the fish supply enough nutrients

LOL you can't sell the native ones without a permit. They start appearing at the water surface in the plankton layer around November, can catch them with a fine net. The Mantis larvae are a light green colour.

I have a pair of nz ones that i grew on from larvae collected last season

The early bird catches the Anubias

Excellent way of profiling a fish.

Beautiful

Should be good now Barrie
