Tank: 40 gallon tall
Temp : 80o
Filters: cascade 300, random 60 gallon hob filter, Marinland in tank spongfilter/powerhead
Inhabitants:6 wild caught Tinanti "slender buffalo heads" 7 paradise fish (grow outs ..soon to be down to 4) 3 female bettas (couldn't get along in a smaller tank ) about 4 brig snails..ramshorn snails, mts, and nirate snails.
Plants; java moss, anubia, pennywort, and bba (though i don't mind it)
I ran across these fish at my LFS...they had been there for some time with out much interest from most people... I LOVE bottom dwellers and these guys are so active and communal, it appears i have at leaste 2 males.. maybe 3 so i might of gotten lucky and have 3 males and 3 females.
About an hour after i turn the lights on each day they all gather on the rocks and logs together and make a puppy pile...rubbing on each other and jumping around all together..than break off to mill around the tank..every few hours they get together and rub on each other...LOVE for this little amusing fish!!!. Ill try to get the puppy pile mess on video soon.. Its hard seeing that if i get near the tank they think im feeding them and break off to beg for food.
My camera recently went out on me..so video is all you get for now ^_^
(another longer video is downloading atm...will be up soon)
