Very nice pics. I just got my dinosaur bichir so hes still basically a baby and hes in my tank with my 2 red belly pacu's, 2 silver dollars, high fin pleco, 2 giant danios, and 2 longfin rosy barbs (yea i know too crowded once the pacu's grow but i just got a 75 and im leaving the pacu's in the 55) I really like the way your armored bichir and orante look those are really great pics. Makes me want a bigger tank but dang dude a 900g tank lol amazing

PM received. I haven't taken pics in quite a while so this was a great excuse to break out the camera. I didn't remove the algae from the from acrylic so excuse the green spots and not all oddballs wanted to come out for me.

Start off with a 14" heterotis niloticus

great pics gump...

man i wish i had money and room to get some bigger tanks.

i have never seen half of the fish there. i have only seen 1 tiger datinoid i guess my lfs shops just dont carry the unique stuff and the fact that florida outlaws most of the good stuff because of people releasing them into the wild is a restraint..

:nicefish:

hey lupin dont u have alot of these kind of fish? where some pics of your tanks?
 
#14 ·
Ummm..Gump, where's the Tatia perugiae? I want that pic.:tongue: Okay, it isn't much of an oddball but I like the cute face to pass with.

I haven't taken new photos.LOL Senegal bichir and tire track eel are all I have at the moment. The rest are loaches, plecos, synos, cichlids and characins. None of these are even oddballs to me. The hillstream loaches probably are but still classified cyprinids. I do have photos of them in my documents. I can post them later if you like.

I don't generally buy oddballs. I concentrate more on fish that are hardly available in my area. At the moment, I have four plecos, two of which are often overlooked and still waiting for a new one. Not sure if you would consider them oddballs so I didn't include them here.
