    Hope you're happy with them.
    I have about 30 in my tank, and the display is stunning when they all school together.

    How can I not be happy. Just look at them. [​IMG]
    I have a powerhead in the tank as well. Put it on a timer with 1 hour of flow and 2 off during the day and it only goes on 2 times at night. Don't want them spinning around in the tank although the found the spotts with little flow very fast.

    Lambchops are the best piece of meat for a braai and they are not Tetras.

    Flip. See never too old to learn. @Rainstorm will post some pictures later tonight. During the day it is terrible to take pictures of this tank.

    There are actually more than two species. To make it more complicated, the harlequin rasbora is probably composed of two or more different species. For what it's worth, your fish are pretty either way, and your setup is enviable.

    Never heard that @dorff.
    To my knowledge the heteromorpha is found in the wild like the other ones.

    Thanks @dorff. Just stood by that tank and realized that all the fish in there have 3 colors in comin. Black, grey and orange. Looks like this will be a color coded tank from now on.

    Photo time. Sorry for the quality but the light on th 4ft doesn't wanna play along.
    The Panaque orange tank
    [​IMG]
    This is how the 4ft and 3ft sits next to one another. My idea was to create the illusion that the 2 tanks are 1[​IMG]
    And here is a terrible photo, from the short side of the tank, showing the Lambtjops playing around.[​IMG]
