Rare Freshwater Tropical Fish (January 2008)

This a January 2008 video our 85 gallon community aquarium.

Here's the list of fish:

4 Black Bar Myleus "Tetra disco" "Blackear Pacu" (Myleus Schomburgki)
3 Common Silver Dollar (Metynnis Hypsauchen or Argenteus)
2 Mystery Silver Dollars (Metynnis Mola or Luna)
1 Flagtail (Semaprochilodus taeniurus)
1 Silver Distichodus (Distichodus affinis)
1 Chinese Hi Fin "Hifin" Banded Shark (Myxocyprinus asiaticus)
1 Earth Eater Cichlid (Geophagus jurupari)
2 Fancy Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
4 Rosy Red Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
3 Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
1 Keyhole Cichlid (Aequidens maroni)
1 Blue Gourami ((Trichogaster trichopterus)
9 Bumblebee Goby (Brachygobius xanthozona)
8 Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi)
3 Rasbora (Rasbora heteromorpha)
2 Albino White Cloud Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes)
2 Darter Fish
1 Bluefin Killifish? (Lucania goodei)
4 Hillstream Loach (Beaufortia kweichowensis)
1 Weather "Dojo" Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus)
2 Horseface Loach (Acantopsis choirorhynchos)
1 Neon Blue Australian Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox)
6 Kuhli Loach (Pangio kuhlii)
8 Ghost Shrimp (Palaemonetes)
5 Apple Snails (Ampullariidae)


Yes, I know this is an odd assortment of fish. It was an experiment to see if this random group could "hang" together. So far so good. This tank is unusual not only for the variety of species but the size variences which range from 1/2 inch to 9+ inches.

Flag tail and the one with the prominent thick black stripe on the middle of the body look nice, it reminds me of the heckel discus fish.

Thanks for sharing.

Just checked out some of your vids. I'm guessing that my aquarium is probably not as over-stocked as your refrigerator.
