Very nice tankscape, again flowers.gif .

Again the Boulengerella rock and you just can't beat Agamyxis pectinifrons aka spotted raphael. Prepare for a long lasting fish, I have two of them since 1991, and back then they were half grown when I bought them so they could be easily 22-23 years old smile.gif .

Nice tank! Is there any agression yet? Problem with the bush fish is that it's possible a pair forms and they will defend territory against the other fish. Don't think this is a really agressive species though, but something to look out for.

Thx about your comments, I donīt have the bush fish yet. But this weekend I seen a fight between my upside down cat fish and the panaque, I donīt undertand, they have 100 galons to live and are fighting for a coner... I have a picture in the abdomen of my mystus with a bite from the panaque. Them I see the panaque with bites in his dorsal fin.

I think the mystus is in season to be receptive, and trigger this fight.

Soon i will post new pic of my new lights !!!

Exist a possibility to get some gar fishes, but is not confirm yet.

I'd watch the Mystus, if this aggression holds on I bet the Panaque will loose.
I currently have three asian upside-down catfishes, two stout females both slightly above 30 cm/~12" and one small male slightly above 15 cm/~6".
The bigger one of the two females and the male are housed with my lungfish in a 177g and the female is generally very aggressive against everything smaller then her and dwelling in the mid water section, the male being so small is very timid. The other female is housed with my obscura-snakehead in a 95g and is much more peaceful against any fish she is/was housed. Very individual fish IMO.
