    And sparkly eye makeup!
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    not sure what's the name, maybe undescribed. but I hope to at least nail the genus.

    btw got this in Japan (courtesy of ranma) and cost $40.

    Good picture! But the lipstick bit looks a bit odd. I prefer my characin not so made up.

    Shame about the lower caudal fin, otherwise, it's a perfect specimen.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Touch it and the blue will be discounted. Didn't you use the underwater White Balance card?

    kind of touch and go on the colour cast. also my LCD has a button problem so I cannot re-profile as I should. should have bought a Dell instead.

    I almost bought a Dell monitor today but Justin told me not to do so. So we bought a Viewsonic instead.

    In any case, the color of the characin is fine if it's slighly yellow bias. It will always look natural to our eyes. If it's too blue, then it will be a problem.

    Cheers,
    you bought the VX2025 ? aiya say so lah I sell you mine cheap cheap after I fix the buttons

    When you have kids who have to do school work, losing your LCD for a week is not an option. The Dell comes with 5 yr on site replacement warranty.

    Hi guys,

    the nice pictures shown is Moenkhausia cosmops Lima et al. 2007 an it was published in the magazine I manage: aqua, International journal of Ichthyology (see also www.aqua-aquapress.com) on November 8th, 2007.

    I already noted, that on your great site you always write about the new species, but never mention the aqua journal, which has been publishing description of new species since 1992 and comes out 6-times-per-year at Aquapress Publishers, Italy:
    www.aquapress-bleher.com

    The new characoid is really beautiful.

    Best regards and merry christmas and a healthy and happy new year to all of you,

    Heiko Bleher
    Best regards,
    Heiko Bleher
