its called a pink tailed chalceus.
its a member of the tetra family (south american characins) and he is strictly a surface fish.
I had two of them, which was cool, but one died from an injury when my nephew threw a ball into the tank and he hit the glass at about 90 miles per hour and knocked himself out, and died shortly after...

Thanks! I am really looking forward to getting the 150 gallon.
It will be awhile before I get it (have to move to another location before I can get it), but these guys should be with me for a long time provided they don't keep packing on the inches lol

A 180 would be alot better for them than a 150, but there is a big leap in price for a 180 set up from a 150 set up, and I want to get everything brand new - other than using some of the equipment that I have now..
I know I might be able to get a second hand tank, but I would end up spending more in the long run upgrading it to the way I want it.
thats the thing with getting used stuff - you get someone elses idea of a great set up which doesn't always match with your own..
I have priced things out and I should be able to put together a brand new 150 gallon setup (with 2 Rena XP3 filters) for about 1600 canadian (taxes included).
the 180 set up would be a lot more (eg tank alone is 699 for an all glass tank in my area, probably because the glass is a bit thicker), and I doubt I will be able to afford it..
they are going to get the best home I can afford for them..one day..LOL
in the mean time, they will have to continue to be happy and a bit cramped LOL

what are the catfish that you have in there? i cant get a good enough view of them to figure out what they are. Looks like there's three that i counted. One of them is a pleco, common from the pics. But the other two i cant tell. Cause the one with the two dots is not exactly a baby catfish.
