Some more tropicals for you

Corydoras Schwartzi, nice little catfish from the Amazon River.


Tiger Barb, from Asia.


Sword Tail, from Mexico.

Lovely! That Sword Tail seems to jump out at you - and I love the markings on the Corydoras and the barb.
Do you have many tropicals, then?

Oh yes, three big aquariums full of them, with the proper lighting the colours are astounding, the catfish, I have a lot of them in each tank, keep the gravel clean as they're bottom feeders, I never have to clean the gravel.

I'll try and post more pics of the fish but it's so difficult to get a good image as they keep twitching around.

They're called Siamese Fighting fish fish Louise you can't keep more than one male in the tank cos they'll fight to the death. their colours are superb as well, and they're very easy to keep because they're air breathers (Anabantids) they come to the suface and take in air to supplement their gill functions.

I was close then Samurai/Siamese

He did breed quite a few..but had smaller tanks floating in bigger ones and some halved and stuff..he had a few males (they had bigger fins I think females weren't so fancy)
