Just captured this picture today. One of my old timers. Mr Pangio anguillaris

Gorgeous! He looks like he's on a mission!

WOW!
What IS he? Can I please have some info on this fish?
He's lovely!

Thankyou.

Thats beautiful, how old is he?

Cheers. Well he's not That old. Around 3yrs old in my care.

Has he been showing any interest in any of those lovely gravid-looking females of yours?

Emma

Oh yes, Emma. In the evening the females often engage in a late night stroll along the waterfront (front glass of tank) with this male. He certainly knows how to charm the ladies.

WOW!
Thanks for the link.
I have never seen these guys before! They're considered kuhli's in some strange way? They must be awful hard to get.

Yeah they are Pangio's with a snake like face. A few years ago these would be considered rare but lately they seem to becoming quite popular in the aquarium trade. Keep a look out in the substrate of your lfs, these chaps love to burrow.

Another species with more than one potential partner on the go then!

I do have other males but they don't drive a Jag or look old enough to drive one. Thanks to you though, i do have some females who likes the fast lane.

I do hope these breed!!

Fantastic pic!!!!!!

Cool fish! Graeme if you want to get rid of that black algae, the first fish on this link does a good job, the (Crossocheilus siamensis)

Thankyou

No, i don't have a problem with Black algae. The dieing leafs do though. They are easily plucked if needed. I keep them for the Pangio's feeding habits within the plants.
