sorry for the weird streaks on the glass and stuff.
Is it bad to use flash when taking pictures of the fish???

I like those rainbows. Just make sure to clean your glass before the next shoot!

nice rainbows...i tried those as a beginner but killed them all... 'oops'... i've never seen a blue one before.. and the pattern your fave one is really cool..

Nice fish! Turquoise rainbows are probably my favorite rainbow... I had a few a while ago along with some other rainbows. But they seem to have an even higher o2 demand than most botias. I had an incident once where at night when o2 is low in my tank (planted tank) my supplimental nightime powerheads that agitate the surface failed, o2 levels apparently plummeted and I lost over half of all my fish including all my turqs and most the rest. I didnt loose any botia. For the sake of the fish I decided not to chance it and never kept them again. I suppose in my new tank I could, it should remain quite oxygenated at all times with large overflows going, but I've already decided on other stocking.

Your Balashark looked a bit skinny for my eyes. Consider using an EndoParasites to fix it.

Nice fishes! Congrats!

a good selection of fish, the lacustrus is a nice specimen as is the splendida, as mark said give your glass a wash bud.
theyre just like mine.

Nice rainbows. Your striatas look on the skinny side to me. What do you feed them? Try feeding more bloodworms and brine shrimp to get them to plump up. I have one skinny customer that seems to refuse all food except frozen shrimp and larvae of various sorts (I've tried medication but it seems to be a losing battle so far). The rest of them (I have 10 in total) were finicky to begin with, but now accept flakes and other foods.

I feed my striatas mostly shrimp pellets and flakes.
This weekend i will get some bloodworms, brine shrimp, and other stuff. I need to be feeding them more of a variety.
