Very nice fish you have. Good show!

You should plan a visit down one year. Enjoy Florida's weather at its best, go to the auction and buy a few hundred fish, soak up some sun, . . .

If you're in Florida, it is well worth the visit. Last year there were over 1000 bags of fish -- we are aiming for 600 this year. There's also a dry goods auction. We've had people come from as far as Georgia and Kentucky. Everyone is welcome -- members and non members. You may auction fish and/or b...

Those are some beautiful healthy fat fish.

THe young orange fin and then the old orange fin.

What a beautiful tank. Nice healthy, bright fish. The video was great. I love all the spectators to the fight who looked completely unconcerned.

Thanks for sharing and please post more pictures when you can.

What country do you live in?

Normally I don't worry so much, but these are my blue eyed fry, and I only have four. I want them to become adults so hopefully I can breed them.

My biggest worry is if I can not get them onto commercial food, how will I continue to feed them when they are larger and can't subsist on biofilm.

I had tried them with hikariwafers. All my BN love them, and the blue eyes are not interested.

All my BN have their diet supplemented with zucchini and love it. I caught these guys eating it.
It just doesn't seem like they eat enough of it.

They are still growing. I just don't get it.

The shrimp are amazing. There's something with Florida water that makes leeping many of the shrimp very difficult. My Bamboos are almost two years old, same with the amanos. But I can't keep most of the really cool ones more than a month or two.

Thanks FF.

I just worry they are not getting enough to eat. They ar enot wild, tank born, just now my tank.

I caught one eating zucchini the other day. I do think they rasp the wood and on biofilm. Just doesn't seem like it's enough to support growing bodies.

My bristlenoses (BN) started breeding about 3 years ago, and I have had a steady stream of fry. I have about 6 varieties of BN, and they are one of my favorite fish. Useful, pretty, Interesting, and easy to keep -- a perfect fish. :) Luckily as long as you feed the fry and change the water, they are...

Those are great. So glad to see some pictures from you again.

Cute new comers. Hope they really love their new home.

I am still amazed when I see them. Gorgeous.

I would like to have a tank like that. Please share more pictures when you have time.

Can't wait to see the new comers.

There are quite a few people on this forum who love shrimp. Thanks for sharing. What are the black and white ones?

I keep cherries, bamboos, amanos, . . .

Please post more pictures.
