NO, that is another one of my odd friendships. The little one is one of my female Hartwigi or Fenestratus Piebold. Having a hard time differentiating between the two. That tank is allllllllll messed up, and they are all confused. :suspect:

Ya that Trimac is growing fast.. Had to get him out of the grow-out tank. Thanks. :)

The red/blue fen is starting to color up nice, the yellow eyes are a trip.

The entire group is looking good.

I know my Oscar is lame by cichlid standards but it works with my mix and has the personality and temperament I want. Im just looking for the last puzzle piece.

I think if you get a good tempered pearsei it will fit well.

what about a bichir?

they are pretty laid back, as long as you don't have an overflow...

What about both? Polys stay on the bottom, they dont get in the way. Perfect, a Poly and a Pearsi

The Pearsei is on my wish list still.

OK Im just going to say it.... Polys and all bichirs just kind of creep me out. I thought about getting one but they really do creep me out. It would be like a person afraid of spiders getting a tarantula. Well almost, Im not deathly afraid of them.

Those 2 are my adorable pair of Lucius Pikes. They are in my 300 with the big boys and girls. They didnt come out much because I also had a very large and mean Strigata Pike, that trys to eat them every time they came out of their cave. Well the big Pike was sold, so they are happy and out swimming. :cheers:

They stay small for a Pike. They max out at 8". My male is about 6" and the female 5". They are my favorite Pikes. They are so cool to watch them interact with each other.
