Not really, :wink: but i thought a change might be in order with the 'Grrrr' Tank. Here's my poser. The Y modesta. And one of my 'Fav' Barbs! Still juvenile and NEW :D

I preferred the sand! :cry: :cry: :cry: But the Y. modesta does look stunning as always. 8) The barb is lovely too - looks like one of mine! :lol: Where's the pictures of your other 'grrrr' inhabitants then?

Once they mature, they become something else. Here's one of my adult male Puntius filamentosus.

Nothing special with feedings, they basically eat anything. Good waters also help. :wink:

These are 4 Inches TammyLiz. :D

They are amazing! Why can't you use that smiley with the puddle of drool on this forum? I know the thread is about the gravel, but seriously, I just love those barbs. I wish I could see them in person.

Id really rather not buy from that place if possible though... its a disease factory...

Too bad you don't have way too many and need to offload some :lol:

I'll talk to Harold tommorow. I'm going to check out my Histrionicas which are suppsoed to be coming in...

How big do those last ones get? I was hoping for about five inches
