Tropical Fish

Our "Populated"

Newly erected 55 Gal Tank

We upsized from a 30 gal. to a 55 on 1-1-2012

Our latest addition Swellia Lineolata commonly known as a Reticulated Hillstream Loach *** Tiger Hillstream Loach***or Chinese Butterfly Loach.. We added him to our tank on 4-2-2011.He seems well adapted to the strong currents and superior water flow we are presently supplying.

L190 Royal Pleco...Panaque nigrolineatus

Presently at 6.5 inches, he consumes Zucchini

at a alarming rate. We grew this specimen from a wild caught juvenile obtained from the Brazil's river Rio Xingu.

He was about 2.5 inches at introduction... 30 months ago.

All of the bottom feeders have enjoyed Korean "Nori" (dehydrated seaweed) from a speciality grocer of late with exceptional vigor!!!

This is one of 6 Corydoras aeneus of the form designated as CW010 the Orange laser cory. We added to the tank 12-10-2010. They were obtained from a Florida breeder before the extreme cold snap that month which destroyed a large amount of the tropical fish stocks in the state. It is believed that the original fish were breed from Frank Falcone's fish. The fish originate in Peru and the wild collected fish are from a source that is closely guarded as to it location.
