Crenuchus spilurus, ( sail fin tetras ) my journey...

[Magnum Man]

So I'm not seeing any white edges on the fins... so it's looking like I have a group of females, or maybe immature enough, no color yet on the dorsals???

little blip of their tank, & eating last night here...

my most shaded tank, got a hair cut today...

dead headed, and trimmed a lot of terrestrial leaves that were damaged and shading the tank today, as well as removed the last 2 plastic plants, I added another resin hollow log and added 2 anubis hastifolia ( on left ) and 3 anubis coffeefola Little, and on the right, behind the log ) I like...

well these guys all love blood worms... shrimp cocktail tonight... even got to see a jumbo cardinal tetra eat a whole bloodworm...
looks like it's going to burst, but got the whole thing down...

here even a jumbo Amano shrimp is eating a blood worm

I take back the "lack of white edges to the dorsal comment" above... I think I have one that doesn't hang out in the shoal of mixed tetras, that may be a male... it seems to hang deeper into the root tangles, or I saw it checking out the new resin hollow log, I just added , that the coffeefola is planted out of it...

these guys are growing rapidly... this is one of the bigger ones, just above a mature palmeri, at 1st light this morning

sail fins gobbling up flake food this morning, so feeding them has been no problem

Looks like everyone is enjoying the blood worms

something for everyone.... this morning, each tank got a staple food mix of a little Bug Bites, a little Ultra Fresh Micro Pellets, and a little color / algae mix flake food I use, and the sail fins aggressively ate all 4 they are growing, and competing with the rest of the tetras ( they do give the 2 mature palmeri, and the male raccoon some respect, but there are no negative interactions with either of those 3 fish, or with the mature Zebra Lace Angel, or Spotted Silver Dollar, that are also in the tank... all in all, they fit nicely into this tank...

I bet they are enjoying their morning meal

a rare picture of one at the front glass, still at the bottom, of a shaded tank, but at least in the foreground

 

[BigDog]

That is one sweet picture of your fish swimming around there home

I noticed one of the larger sail fins, was rippling it's dorsal fin, like it was showing off, this morning, before feeding time... assume that one is a juvenal male...
