Thanks Arapimag, when ever you have time, can you tell us more about the fish in the pictures you post....like size and so forth. I looked over that size and fish chart you have, but that's not been updated in a while.....Is the Dovii still alive and kickin? Whats the most aggressive fish in the 15K
The Dovi is still well.

No one aggressive dominate fish in the 15k, They get along very well with only the odd bit of aggression.

The fish don't really change much in the 15k. Few die and very few replacements.

Nile channel cat?

How much was he retail price?
Yup, Clarotes niloticus
29.99. I was planning on giving you mine in a few months anyways :). There were only 2 or 3, so I figured I'd grab one in case you couldn't make it down.

A few more pics

The top pic is a brycon species (so hard to identify) I bought him in 1998 from Biotope (Oliver Lucanus & Sean) in Montreal Canada at about 2". This one is part of a schoal of about 30 brycons and is somewhere between 22 and 24" tl.

middle pic is a brycon species bought at the same time as the one above and and in the same size range.

The cichlid with him is a female Herichthys urophthalmus bought at Marine Resources (Sean Wilson) in 1992 at about 4" and is now about 10-11".

The bottom pic is a dorado (Salminus maxillosus) of which I have several in the 15k. They range from 16" to 22" this one is about 16-17"
I bought a few in 1998 from Biotope (Oliver Lucanus & Sean) in Montreal Canada at about 2" and a few more in 2001 from Pets plus in Lockport New York (John & Fred) also at about 2".

another dorado.

notice the pair of red devils in the right hand side. They have a schoal of young ones.

The striped characin on the top left side I believed to be a leporinus sp. A MFK member identified it over a year ago as an anostomus sp.

What do you think?
