How big is yours? You should post some pics!! Been wondering who else got them, there was only a couple sold here in the states.......

Sure seems like the Brassys are much more tolerant of tank mates then Frankies are. I have had NO problems whatsoever with Robert aside from the occasional nips on the Masheer dithers he was housed with for a few months.

That being said, mine is still a few inches shy of where most of my Frankies have turned into Frankysteins....... So it could change at any time?

So the odoe didn't seem to appreciate the extra current, huh? I wonder if that's across the board for odoe in general, or just because the ones you've had weren't used to it in their tank specifically?

Yep they don't like current in general they're natural habitat is slow moving lagoons, and swamps. Nice group Db....what tank are the brycon in?

The Brycon reside in the big boy tank (750). I recently added the Masheer to that tank and seems the Wolves are behaving, so may not be long before Robert and the Odoe join them......

Was the original owner of this fish Exoticfishguy or did you get it directly from Wes?

Guessing it's around a foot?

Can't wait to see some clear pics of this guy!!!

I bought it off another hobbyist in my area but he had bought it from Wes, I think it's about 10'.

Have you tried using a flash when snapping pics?
