WOW! Those lemon fins are starting to look muscular! =) Thanks for the update! Much appreciated!

I had to sell them. they were not getting any food.

I actually tried them in the 50g for a time, bad idea.

they looked small in the 150, in the 50 they were way too big.

I am still upset about this. I wish I would have known. I would have paid you to ship them to me in a heart beat!!!!

Just registered on this site, and spent the last 2-3 hours reading this thread. You have done amazing with your tanks and fish. Can't wait for the next update.

I love the lemon fin barbs, although not seen any here in the UK yet. One shop are selling what they call diamond barbs, which says they grow to 45cm (18"). They look very similar to lemon fin barbs, are they the same fish, just using a different name?

thanks

yes they are the same. sometimes they are labled as diamond sharks around here too.

new flagtail complete with ich in the quarentine tank.

not much colour yet, but he will get there.

using the 18" width of the tank as a measuring tape, you can see that the lemonfin barbs are getting some size now, although they still look sort of small against the backdrop of the front viewing panel.

I have also asked one of my LFS's to order me in some synodontis decoris cats (my favorite fish at one time). its been a while since I have kept them, and I haven't seen any available for sale locally in a long time.
