haha lol, it was a mistaken import, came in with plants by itself, i just guessed it was amano, coz it wasnt colourful, kinda looked like one.

nah, I think imported, not native, but what do i know, im not a shrimp expert lol :lol:

couldnt see the second photo but it was much darker than the first, browny greyish.

cool fellas, would like a small tank with them and bb gobies. :roll:

Damn, guy sold me 5ft tank now he says someone rang and bought it, i guess its back to square one.

Henwards clown is 30/40cm and has a bust jaw. and the larger BGK is almost as big lengthways, I guess you have to experiment to know. :roll:

yeah, better than when they are younger, when small they are fragile, been there and done that x2 so getting henward to pass that stage for me, they wouldnt get far with my ornate and dat + the ctenopoma showed aggression towards them too , safer with my dels on a high protein diet.

Nice bro, they still on bloodworms or are they on pellets? yeah, i will watch them, henward keeps 2 BGKs with his CK and their alright, but I have 2 Cks so maybe they will focus on each other rather than the banded, also if i get 2 BGKs it will disperse aggression further?

How big are your nandus now snookie? there are some at hollywood that look kinda largeish.

They are sweet, Ive got my 2 clowns in with henwards banded atm, hes growing them a bit for me along with 4 delhezis 8) 8) :bounce:, bandeds are pretty lax apparently, its the tiger knifefish that are agro, but they werent brought in. Just bought a 5ftr so the upgrade came a little sooner 8) , everyone will have fun in that one.

Thanks guys, hope to grow him up to 50cm+, want to do a kind of knifefish/bichir theme, with my 2 clowns, maybe a couple of BGKs, other species if i can find them, along with my bichirs. I am upgrading in a couple of months -ish, and im gonna do a cool lighting setup: At each end have a double bulb of greenish light (not too bright) and then a uv+marine glo in the middle, run the uv during the day, and blue at night. overall a dark tank but should create a dramatic effect with the contrast between light and dark, maybe the knives will stay out more if its a shady tank. Will have white sand, limited plants (anubias maybe) and have a big piece of wood. Hopefully he will take pellets, once he is large he will make a great showfish. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Thanks so much guys, he is awesome, given him some plants and he seems to be ok, i assume you fed him bloodworms in store, but I shall try to wean him onto pellets.

Got a banded knife today, gonna grow to 2ft, named him 'Diego', has a funny little smile on his face. I love this guy! Who else bought one other than henward?

Pretty sure it was, it definately wasnt a native, was a tropical shrimp with greyish sorta colour, camped out in the planted tank.

lol, thank god, hugging you morcs i dread the thought. :lol: :lol: :-?

Found an amano shrimp at hollywoods once, but a staff member already bought him :roll:

Just dont do it, few months i guess, 3-4

Group hug?? :lol:

not really sure, why doesnt everybody who has a variant put pics up, that solves the issue of which one

Pic please

So crazy that peope should dye fish to get more colour, those fighters are wicked.

lol, you insulting morcs :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW, everyone who wants some special fish brought in post it on the hff 'what to order' list in commercial, i've already taken liberty of putting a few of my favs, someone else put down fei fengs i forgot about them lol.

babies from what?

Ive only got one tiger left, straight classic with 4 bands and necklace, im gonna keep this one, sold my oddball barred one and larger one, tried AT's but both died
