Just thought I pop up a picture of one my my Rio's I caught out today


These little fellows are groing up fast, except for the one with the large white spots (see my ID thread), he seems
to have grown either much slower than the others, or not at all!
Also, I found that it wasn't Tim killed by the Shark, it was infact my younger one Gary. I netted him out and had a good look at him the other day, and he growing pretty big, I'd say he's nearing the 10cm mark, or just over it!

Will try get more pics soon, I'd probably update this thread as I go

Lovely looking fish - would love to see some more and of your setup.

Up your way in a few weeks with work - any good aquatic shops in Exeter for browsing ?

Thankyou! I'm definatly going to post some up after my new plants arrive!

And yes! There's Exeter Aquatics (featured on PFK website), Theres a Bow Aquatics in a garden a little way out near where I live, a few other petstore places like 4pets (a bit pricey but often stock a lot of cichlids), The Ark (lovely place, the guy in there is awesome!) P@H (they're 'okay' enough). Also, a little way out theres a Maidenhead Aquatics in a place called Jacks patch out a Teignmouth, thats worth a visit just to dribble over the display tanks! That said, Bow is also worth that, as they have a few marine display tanks and a frigging huuuge tank behind the counter! They also stock a few plecs, but are a bit pricy. I like to get my plants in there for three reasons:
1 snail free
2 Cheap but good
3 One of the guys always gives me extra for free ;D
But please do not go to Exeter Pet and Garden, the woman in there is a complete -rudeword-, and their tanks are always poorly maintained :P

Lol, I love my city!

Lovely spree......a real cutey...

Cheers!

Top foto Spreebok , but looking at the fish now it has relaxed down a bit I'm thinking it's another
A. Hopolgenys and not A.Rio Ucayali( which I think we have determined to be the "orange spot") don't you
just love trying to I.D these fish

Oh gawd, really? XD;;
Evidence mister! >

Very nice

Okay, I've set up the good camera next to the tank, and will keep an eye out for them!
I'll try get all three, plus Tim, as he was ID'd as a Rio too!

Very nice ...I second seeing the set up pics ..

Hmmm, I'll take some setup pics later today for you all

Not a setup pic, but heres a picture of the one with larger spots (the one that caused brain ache)

Edit: I really like this photo!

And I'll get some setup pics in a min, just getta dive in and plant some hairgrass and tend to the javamoss I chucked in there on wednesday. Ordered them from javaplants.com, was less than impressed :|
