And me! :o) Cool pic Chuck. Look at that biotope!!

yeah man...i ve been feeding myself on those kind of pics in the last months...trying to figure what kind of habitat they need..but that`s almost impossible to recreate in home tank...i cannot imagine keeping fish, now in something different than a biotope tank

LoL Nathan, that's the ultimate biotope...that's a shot of them in the wild. I wonder how hard it would be to recreate something like that in an aquarium setting.

sorry, double post

I'm just going to start throwing dirt and little twigs in my tank! :o)

that the way to go, nate!lol

all the credit goes to Oliver Lucanus for that pic..

lol. In all serious you probably couldn't do it cause of filteration. Thanks Oliver!

Bonjour M. Chuck comment êtes-vous et faites vous le poisson?

You would need some of that fancy aquarium soil they use for planted tanks, but I think it could be done with a little work and patience.

Shawn that thing for the plants its dirt and most of it if not all is just rocks. when i wash it bro that bucket was just think as if you were making a bucket full of chocolate milk.

as for the dirt i wouldn't mind putting up with the dirty tank for a month until it settle i wonder if i can bring some from Colombian river?

That is just Awesome! Love to see fish in Natural State.

Yeah Chuck, thanks for posting, thats allot different from what I have seen when dive at Cenote Eden Garden and Escandino.
Not as much dirt there, more of huge/large rocks,stones and clustered sandy areas.
And of course huge amount of falling tree branches, mangrs, etc. I am sure if spend more time there, you can find places similar to the one pictured here.
It's logical. I would stay away of adding dirt to my tanks, lol.
Look back at my Mexico trip pictures, you'll see what I mean.
