So this is how the 40 gallon long looks after I pulled out the Amazon swords and the tiger lotuses. Here's how it used to look:

There was just too much plant and not enough swim room. Especially for Gabriel (the angelfish).

Everyone seems happier now!

There is very little I find more soothing than the glow of our tanks at night.

Pseudomugil furcatus

[aquatictimes]

I hate to do this, but these guys in the original post are actually P. gertrudae, the Spotted Blue-Eye Rainbowfish (lovely friends). P. furcatus (Forktail Blue-Eye Rainbows) are these critters:

BUT ALSO, this is the PERFECT opportunity to talk about one of my favourite genuses (plural?), SO HAVE SOME MORE SPARKLY FEEEEEESH!!! 

P. gertrudae:

P. pelucidus:

P. luminatus:

P. paskai: (some confusion surrounds the identification of these guys, as they are exceptionally similar to P. luminatus. It is now understood that fish circulated as P. paskai in the hobby are actually P. luminatus, as paskais have not become established commercially, and both genetic and physical differences exist between the two. Source)

P. cyanodorsalis: (these guys are euryhaline, meaning that they are capable of occupying pure freshwater, but also a vast range of salinities - including fully marine conditions and even waters reaching a specific gravity of 1.030(!!!!); considerably higher than sea water. However, mild to moderate brackish conditions are preferred)

P. reticulatus:

P. signifer: (also euryhaline - found in freshwater to marine conditions. Mildly brackish conditions probably best)

P. ivantsoffi:

Pseudomugil novaeguineae:

P. mellis:

P. connieae:

P. tenellus:

Also, have another rainbow - Rhadinocentrus ornatus:

These three pictures are all of the same species! The only species within its genus, their extreme colour differences are a matter of geographical range.

ANYWAY

As far as I’m concerned, Blue Eye Rainbows and Rhads are dramatically underrated.

I LIVE FOR THEM ALL

Chocolate gouramis are just freshwater possum wrasses change my mind.

This is the kind of content I am HERE for.

Feels like I haven’t posted about Spit Fyre in months!

Despite the surprise appearance of cataracts (?) back in March, his vision now still seems pretty much fine, and he’s just as Angy as ever.

Absolutely beautiful illustrations of butterflyfishes in the genus Chaetodon by Scott Partridge. They are available to buy as an art print here.
