Mixed shots, peacocks/planted/apistos/etc

[iamzrad]

Within the last couple of weeks, I've managed to pick up some awesome juvie peacocks from several members on here as well as some good plants from the auction.

More of an impromptu shot, nothing finely polished, almost, do I dare say it? Amateurish? lol

I'll be updating this thread as I get more shots, some fish are still shy...ugh.

Rubescens (thanks Julie!)

(Strawberry hanging in the back)

Lwanda Red-top (thanks Michael!)

Apistogramma acrensis

Apistogramma cacatuoides

Lamprologus Ocellatus

Planted/community tank

*Tank is having some algae problems and insufficient nutrient levels and needs a rearrangment soon, but the problems are being currently fixed, hope to have a better/healthier shot soon.

Nice shots, glad to see everyone is doing well. Your amateurish shots are much better than my best attempts. Look forward to seeing more pictures.

Nice tanks, and I think the shots are pretty good, too!

What kind of apistos are they? I'm just learning about the different ones now Are pics 2 and 3 the the apistogramma cacatuoides?

 

[iamzrad]

Thanks.
The name above the picture is the type of fish it is.

WooHoo! I got one right! I still can't pronounce the latin names... lol I didn't see the names at the top, was too busy looking at the pics lol.

Here's a better pic of the triple red cockatoo

 

[Lively]

He's called a triple red because he has three separate bands of red, right?

 

[Jumbie]

Yes, the Triple Red's have red on the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins.

TY Jumbie! I think keeping fish is easier than learning this stuff.

O yeah. Thats why they give fish common names also, its a lot easier for people like me.
