| Thought I'd post some vids of my unusual tank. Yes, it is overstocked. I bought all these fish as babies when I set up the tank in 2007 and haven't purchased a single fish since. The most unusul part of my tank is the variety of fish which breaks the "rules" of much fishkeeping advice. I have tiny fish an inch long hanging boldly with fish 6, 7 even 11 inches long. A few oddballs in there as well. Also, many of the fish are, (in just little over a year), larger than most books say the max size is. Finally, click in the last link for a shot of one of the most amzing eartheater cichlids I have ever seen. Here's a list of fish with some video links at the bottom. 4 Black Bar Myleus "Tetra disco" "Blackear Pacu" (Myleus Schomburgki) over 6.5-7.5 inches 3 Common Silver Dollar (Metynnis Hypsauchen or Argenteus) 6.5-7.5 inches 2 Mystery Silver Dollars (Metynnis Mola or Luna) almost 5 inches 1 Flagtail (Semaprochilodus taeniurus) 1 Silver Distichodus (Distichodus affinis) 11 inches1 Silver Distochodus (Distochodus affinnis) 7.5 inches 1 Chinese Hi Fin "Hifin" Banded Shark (Myxocyprinus asiaticus) over 7 inches 1 Earth Eater Cichlid (Satanoperca leucosticta) over 7 inches 1 Rosy Red Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 4 inches 3 Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) 5-6+ inches 1 Keyhole Cichlid (Aequidens maroni) 4+ inches 5 Pleco (Plecostomus) 5-9+ inches 1 Royal Pleco (Panaque nigrolineatus) 6 inches 1 Blue Gourami ((Trichogaster trichopterus) 4 inches 4 Bumblebee Goby (Brachygobius xanthozona) over 1 inch 7 Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) 1.5-2 inches 1 Rasbora (Rasbora heteromorpha) almost 2 inches 1 Darter Fish 3 inches 1 Bluefin Killifish? (Lucania goodei) 4 Hillstream Loach (Beaufortia kweichowensis) 2 inches 2 Horseface Loach (Acantopsis choirorhynchos) 5+ inches 1 Neon Blue Australian Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox) almost 3 inches 6 Kuhli Loach (Pangio kuhlii) 4 inches 2 Ghost Shrimp (Palaemonetes) over 2 inches (body) 1 Bright red bamboo shrimp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9bpi3bE3bEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jcp8_lUIW8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VoyVNVEpsEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt377tU6tB0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy7oFucTYPwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbhvWFVCB6Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l010jZaSbrEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZtY8aR9zS4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtB3nqTkh3Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBpjU5hP67YMany more on my youtube page. | |

| That is a weird mix. Do you have plans going forward for some of them? I'm growing out a few Myxocyprinus asiaticus here and they get 3 feet. | |

| The Hifin shark is the only one that will present some serious size problems if he lives long enough. It does take a long time for them to grow 3 feet and I'm not sure that even 2 feet would happen in an aquarium. If he starts getting as long as the tank is wide, I'll find a home for him somewhere. | |

| Well out side of the New England aquarium I have never seen such a mix of fish! They all look amazing! How's the aggression in the tank? I'm glad to see you have plans on moving the hifin if it gets too big! How long have you been keeping fish? | |

| Yea the hifins have the same growth rate as koi, so you'll at least have some time to plan. I'd like to get my lot to breed one day. | |
