Thats a nice set up,thanks for sharing
By the way are those L24?
Here's my first Pseudacanthicus tank setup pictures.
I started with small plecos like Hypancistrus so this is a "big" leap in fish size for me.
The tank setup is in its first iteration and I do expect change to the setup in the very near future as I go along.
Here's a Full Tank Shot
Unfortunately I didn't have a photo ID session with the new inmates...
So here are random pictures I could get of the inhabitants.
I'm starting to appreciate the spikes on the flanks of these fish.
Thanks to a photo session with HJB's fish! kekeke
Facial shot.
Another trait I like is shown in this picture where the tail's extended filaments cross one another when the caudal tail is closed.
Pictures of two of them side by side.
Hopefully I can get more pictures of the others soon...

Pictured fish are L025.
The L024 seems to be more shy.
Its always under the ceramic shelter.
BTW there are 8 pieces of L046 juveniles hiding some where in the tank!

Wow,so 1 pair of L25 and L24 must be really nice to watch when you're feeding them
Finally you have "upgrade". That's nice L25, Where you get them from? Size look big.
I don't know if they are a pair, as in a male and a female.
My Pseudacanticus ID skills are non-existent!
But observation seems to lead that way as they are not antagonistic to one another.
New bestest buddies!

Hypancistrus and Tanganyikan cichlids breeding
Wah, not scared they eat your L46 fries ah? How big are these guys? Only 2 pieces for now? Japan have too, 1 piece at about 4" to 5". Red body...
Pricewise...

As you know by now... my heart not strong!
Whats the damage for them in Yen?
Got the idea to combine the two species from George and Marina's excellent article on L046.

Around 4" to 5" specimen. 49800 yen.
We are lucky that we get quite an abundance of species here. The quality of fishes may be high there but the quantity is so low and the price is so high...

That's "reasonable" for me compared to the price for the L173! (3 times more)
BTW the "heart not strong" comment was reference to the above!
Having kept zebra for some time I was quite comfortable to put them together.
So far they seem to be out of each other's way.
The L24 and the L25s don't take them as a threat I suppose.
Fortunately, the larger L25 and the L24 have stopped "welcoming" each other!
I think the quantity could be related to An Aquarium's setup?
The majority of quantity also heads to Taiwan IMO.
I of the suspicion that the volume of Taiwan versus Japan is in the region of 5 times.
So though the exporters may not get the premium they get from Japan (on a per pieces basis) they need kow-tow to them to "unload" the bulk of their catch.
Its only when they overdose that we have half a chance to get them.
What an un-holy trinity!(all said in jest please do not be offended!)

Here's an update of the latest member.
L025 number four ( I also just realized I skipped the picture of number three...)
This fish has a brown base with black spots.
Only a three pointer but looks great to me!
Well any fish is good health looks great to me, "nice" colouration is just "extra-cream"!
Here's an update of the full tank shot.

What price you got for number 4?
I just saw in HKG 2 pointers 2800 HKD for 7-8 inch.
Price for Scarlet a bit up.
nice simple setup. Btw, is that a heater behind the wood? Needed for pseuda? Thanks

Mind the SMS lingo please.
The tanks are in my room and receive air-conditioning so a heater is required.
Otherwise, our weather is just fine for them.
Remember the fish come from a very similar equatorial latitude as Singapore.

Thanks for the reply, your L25 is living in a comfortable environment.
Here are some "fun" photo shots.
Close-up of teeth and mouth.
Check out the teeth!
