im gunna set these stupid fish on fire

they are usually pretty stressed out at the pet store and they arent usually under the best lights. if you feed them well and let them acclimate in a few days to a couple of weeks, they gradually gain more color and get super irridescent

youve all been fooled... my gf likes to hijack my name... im ok with it though because it means i dont have to get annoyed with her being loged in :)

shes fish people too though so its ok...

i think they hate me... they are on the bottom again... one of them is with the cories AGAIN eating sinking wafer shrapnel.... ok wait their they go... and one of them is displaying hardcore.. i havent looked at them enough to sex them yet so im not sure where this is going... who knows.....

im loving how blue they have gotten...


hmm.. no fire i guess... not yet anyway....
 
LOVE Congos! Favorite big tetra, also will stun you with some peat in water. My favorite time is morning, tank next to window w/ heavy wood shutters. Leave tanklights off, open shutters and let morning sun filter thru the golden water and find the Congos.....Wow, now if I can get a good picture....
 
I didn't realize congo tetrsas were that pretty. Every time I have seen them in the pet store they looked rather boring. I think I will have to give them a try.

my thoughts exactly
 
ok no fire for them.. they have been swimin around like they should since i got home... all the fish in that tank are so much more relaxed now that the swordtails are gone.. even my 7.5" pleco (L083) is swiming around more..
