je_suis_ketan Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey all, I have recently joined this forum and I can see it's an awesome place to get info for a newbie like me. I have kept a few gold fish for a number of years and just recently I have changed to a tropical tank because I really really wanted a Betta. I have a 200L tank which was bought in Jan and now is home to: 20 tettras (10 neons 10 mooneyes) 2 dwarf Gourami 2 Pearl Gourami 1 male betta 2 clown loaches and 2 red spot Plecos. So far all fish are doing very well Photos will be up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

je_suis_ketan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi and welcome Ketan. Je suis Caryl 8) I am curious to know what mooneyes are and looking forward to pics. I may have the name wrong :oops: they are silver with a black dorsal fin and light from above reflects with a blue crescent shape under their eyes. Hopefully you know what fish I'm talking about.

Caryl Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Wonder if it is a lampeye or Norman's lampeye. Aplocheilichthys normani. It is a killifish. http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/Thumbnai ... fm?ID=2462 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a killifish. http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/Thumbnai ... fm?ID=2462 Hmm they look very similar except the blue crescent was under the eye, not above. Am pretty sure it is a Tetra, but will take a picture and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

je_suis_ketan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Wonder if it is a lampeye or Norman's lampeye. Aplocheilichthys normani. It is a killifish. http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/Thumbnai ... fm?ID=2462 Hey, I took a photo this morning, but because of flash/lighting you can't see the blue crescent under their eyes. If you could help me name this fish it would be much appreciated because I seem to have moon eyes stuck in my head and can't remember what they are really named! :roll: I'm pretty certian that they are a Tetra though. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

je_suis_ketan Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 hey all, I recall that when I first signed up and said hi, I said I would post pics soon. Well soon didn't happen but I took a couple of pics of my tank lastnight. Here is the tank and here are my two Pearl Gourami's Bert and Ernie Tried to take pictures of Neo, my Betta, but he wouldn't sit still long enough for the camera to focus. :roll: Then I put my finger against the glass and he just stared at it but I couldn't take a pic without shaking the camera!!! :-?
