fuzzy_dragonfly Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Mucking around with my camera the other day scores some real nice shots. Most of these fish came from a mysetery bag of tropicals from the market, some I purchased, one I bred myself. Enjoy Buenos Ares tetra Scissortail rasboras Bubby male clean orange swordtail Awesome pic of my long fin rosey barb And my favoruite community fish Ruby the Red forest jewel I've been dying to show off my pure white albino rainbow shark but he's a bit camera shy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Wow they are all gorgeous fish! I'm so envious! My 3ft planted tropical is look well neglected at the moment, probably coz it is . I'm trying to get rid of the fish that are in there so when I move I can start again. I really want to get some bolivian rams and love the look of your Red Forest Jewel.

Sara_01 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I love Red Jewels, I always seem to end up with pairs that breed like rodents, they are so nice when the redden up like that, they remind me of coral trout kinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks, I think they're nice fish too. Even if I do say so myself. BTW taronga zoo keeps longfin rosey barbs with white cloud in a natural pond in one of the asian cat enclosures. I didn't think they could tolerate cold temperatures (it was late autumn when I visited, just before the elephants moved in), maybe they've been accustomed but I can't imagine so as the enclosure was set up for the fishing cat and not the fish. I bought Ruby as a runt fish, all brown with some green spots, felt real sorry for the poor bub. Look at him now not bad for a reject fish, and real easy to take care of, he seems to hang around the kribs (you can just make one out in the background).
