This little guy was in our first batch of discus. He's stunted, but we like him anyway.
Bosemani Rainbow.
Anonymous cichlid. Either an apisto, or a simlarly tempered small african - we failed to label him when we brought them home so again, information would be appreciated.
Juvenile Firemouth Cichlid. We have a pair of these that are looking for a new home. They are absolutely gorgeous specimens, and one is just beginning to show some red in the throat.
These guys were identified as Blue Barbs when we got them, but no scientific name was provided. Maximum size was listed as 4-6" and they bear a strong resemblance to cherry barbs, but with only a band of red, and a striking blue metallic coloration from the rest
Blue Tetras
Hemianthus Callitrichoides ( sometimes sold as 'Dwarf Baby Tears' )
This particular batch is growing emmersed in the bog area behind the 240.
Espei Rasbora ( Trigonostigma espei )
Congo Tetra ( Phenacogrammus Interruptus )
Bolivian Rams ( Mikrogeophagus Altispinosus )
Blue Ram ( Mikrogeophagus Ramierezi )
Discus with a spelunking fetish
School o' Clown Loaches ( Chromobotia Macracanthus )
Gold Ram ( Ramirezi varietal )
Apistogramma Cacatuoides - he was labelled a double red. Is there an orange Cactuoides varietal now? These guys have given us a small batch of fry in a split 15 gallon. Cant wait to get them into a normal sized tank by them selves.
Amano Shrimp - Caradinia Japonica ( have now been reclassified, but I dont have the new name handy. )
Caridina Serrata varietal.
A bright orange varietal of the freshwater bee shrimp. These were one of the early shrimp available to the hobby, though this is the first time I have ever seen them in person.

Garden variety nuisance snail on glass... gotta love macro lenses

Hi, Michael! I've been following your blog via the RSS feed and Google Reader, and just went "browsing" through it for the first time. Your picture of the "unknown dwarf cichlid" is one very well known to me, the first cichlid I was able to breed, 'way back in the mid-1970s. Its common name is "Kribensis", which was, back then, its species name. Nowadays the full name is Pelvicachromis pulcher. Thanks for all the energy you share through your blog.
definitely a krib - beat me to it :)
