So since I lost 2 of my Bosemanis in a water change, I was going to get more of them, but my LFS wasn't sure when they would get them in. I've always liked Melanotaenia lacustri so I got two of them instead. It's hard to get pics of these guys but I tried. Most pics are of my Bosemani. At one point, everyone started flaring up due to all the new males. The pictures don't do justice to their true colors (also they're more colorful in the morning, these were taken late afternoon.)

Finally got a pic of one of the Bosemani not moving!


Center (Blue) is a male Melanotaenia lacustri. On the right is a female Bosemani, on the left a male


Good Ole' Orangey

awesome! will they breed?

Yes, but it takes a few years to get to that size.

i see you are also a member of MFK

You know it lol

Very nice! Do you find keeping a fully stocked fish tank more complicated than RES keeping?

The bosemani is beautiful.

thats is a huge bass snail...no disrespect but the snail shell looks like a turd.

Steve: Yes! Temperature and water chemistry actually matter where as turtles it really doesn't. We act like it does, but it's no where to even close to as sensitive as fish. I also have to add chemicals daily for the plants, and weekly for the water.

Gracie: lol I never realized. Btw : Rabbit Snail
