Nice fish!
Aren’t the flounder brackish though?the Achirus achirus is a freshwater flounder.
Haha… nice storytelling here.
Those are not bloodworms? Or are they the same thing, red mosquito larvae?
Hello Gene!
i think it’s the same, my “free translation” for the dutch word rode muggenlarf is red midge/ mosquito larf(larvae)
Thanks for the great px! Keep ’em coming!
[Aside: bloodworms are midge larvae. Midges are a little different than mosquitos. They look a lot like mosquitos, but the adult flies don’t bite people. The ones whose larvae are sold as bloodworms are in the Chironomus genus.]
L777 the adults of the bloodworms really bites!!ha ha
on the wood: L-136a, under the wood L-260 and L-316:
young Heterandria formosa, i think almost 3 weeks old:
Hisonotus leucofrenatus:
Corydoras similis:
L-260:
young Cor.trilineatus:
More beautiful pictures!! Any update on the japo shrimp that made a quick appearance in one of your shots? It looks like an Amano. Is it? If so, are you able to raise the fry past the free-swimming stage, or do you just let them become fish food?
btw, I haven’t fed live bloodworms before. Sounds like you are speaking from the voice of experience about the fly bites.
thanks for the compliments!
L777 i’ve seen once very small amanoshrimpfry, they’ve to be raised up in brackish water so they become fish food…but my cherry and rainbowshrimps has lots of fry who become adults, but many will be eaten by the fish.

I’m loving the peacock goby and Rhino wui male. Are they peaceful? What size tank do they need?
Hello Crazedpuffer!
size tank about 60cm for both fish is enough,it’s better to keep them in pairs or a small harem(2 females with 1 male) they are peaceful to other fish(even the small ones).
