There is a stargate in my aquarium.
I take it the black barbs with the red stripes are the Odessa barbs? I've never seen those before -- they're lovely!
Good job with the photos, too. :clap:

Awww, thanks everyone, it's nice to know that I'm doing something right.
Yes, the totally red one is what the lfs called a fire cherry, he's about 1.5 inches. The males don't lose the color at all, they're always like that.
And the one with a red stripe is an odessa. The picture doesn't do him justice. If you ever see them in the lfs, get them, even though they may look drab. Give them some tlc and beef heart once a week, and watch them blossom. And they are similar in nature to gold and cherry barbs, not mean at all.

I wish I was a fish I wish.
Nice pics - I also like the Odessa barb, and I really like the pleco - butterfly? tiger? - what pleco species is that?
