Their tank will be sorted either later this week or early next week and I will gets some photo's and maybe shoot a video when all the striata are together, I think I will have around 25 in total :shock: :D

It is amazing how much weight these have put on in just a couple of days of only frozen food, they have gone wild for bloodworm and white midge :)

Beauties! What size are they - 3-4 inches? They look great!
Why does my aquarium always seem too small?

Great pics. A shoal of 25 will look mighty impressive!

I have a snub-nosed one similar to the last one pictured, doesn't seem to bother it none though :)
