Thanks guys.
Thanks for the plant ID Beta. One more plant for ID above.
Marc, am pretty sure that any fish should show the original coloration when they are in the right mood and in appropriate conditions. Once my river tank is up, I will need some top and middle level swimmers. Can try keeping the Chems filaments. Diet should play an important role too. |

The plant in the previous pic looks like Limnophila sessiliflora and the round leaved plants next to the Aponogeton sp. seem to be Bacopa monieri.

Aren't they supposed to have just lateral stripes?
Plecos are discarded by the sellers. Stole by dogs. |
