Splendida pics

Post by Mad Duff » Sat May 16, 2009 6:16 pm

As mentioned over in the "splendida blog" the splendida have suddenly become very confident since the addition of 10 pearl danio's earlier today, so while all 9 were out and about tonight I took some pics:

Cheers guys :D

I think the addition of the pearls has really helped, now I am just going to keep them happy until they can move into their new 75 gallon home soon :)

Congrats!

at last i've got some half decent pics of my two, and a pic of one of the caudipunc's that they seem to be latching on to now.
hope you don't mind Mark.

Great shots Mick!

That's a great looking tank you have there. Love that natural wood and all those hiding spots.

Pic 3 I think it is - looks like one of your boys is about to get his fin nipped by a disgruntled neighbor!

What size is the tank?

Yeah - the eel. I figured he must be social - just good timing on the shot!

I looked up the caudipunc online 'cause he is such a beauty. All I found was a scientific paper on them and it was on them and the Longidorsalis ?sp Which I was also admiring from afar.

Are either of them readily available in the UK??

i'm hoping Neil does'nt forget to order them on the next shipment, don't care what size they are small preferable but we'll just have to see when they come in.
plus the longidorsalis. mmmmmmmm

Oh yes, the Longidorsalis... the pics from that catfish show and I was in love!

I'm going into the office today to make up a "Wanted" poster with pics of my favs that you guys are torturing me with over there. I'm going to take this to the one and only LFS in my area that can be trusted.

The naming is so bad over here I figure a Poster with Pictures is my only hope.
