Adolescent Beasts of Tropical Freshwater Aquaria

This is my Juwel Rio 400 in my student house, although this mixture of fish is not typical it is a useful experiment to see what can be achieved with adolescent boistrous fish a bit of space and extensive observation. I understand that this mixture is not ideal for certain species especially when considering expected growth rates and heightened competition for food and territory, so even though things are going well at the moment I know something larger will be neccisary in the next 6 months. Some of these fish I have been caring for a while whilst others were aquired through customers at work or specialist retailers.

The fish in this aquarium are;

1X Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus)

2X Green Terror (Aequidens rivulatus)

1X Madacascan Cichlid (Paratilapia polleni)

1X Red Shoulder Severum (Heros severus)

1X Purple Spotted Goby/Gudgeon (Mogurnda adspersa)

1X Puntius sp.

1X Black Shark (Labeo chrysophekadion)

3X Sun Catfish (Horabagrus brachysoma)

2X Plecostomus (Hypostomus plecostomus)

1X Gold Spot Plecostomus(L1)

1X Striped Talking Catfish (Platydoras costatus)

1X Pictus Catfish (Pimelodus pictus)

1X Sucking Loach (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri)

1X Blue Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)

1X Yoyo Loach (Botia almorhae)
