This is our 85 gallon community aquarium which we set up in October 2007. We bought all the fish as babies last year and they’ve grown huge. As a result, the fish tank is very overcrowded. I am diligent with water quality and try to change 60% every 2 weeks or so. I know I’ll be criticized for the number of fish in this fishtank. Here’s the list of fish: 4Black Bar Myleus “Tetra disco” “Blackear Pacu” (Myleus Schomburgki) 3 Common Silver Dollar (Metynnis Hypsauchen or Argenteus) 2 Mystery Silver Dollars (Metynnis Mola or Luna) 1 Flagtail (Semaprochilodus taeniurus) 1 Silver Distichodus (Distichodus affinis) 1 Chinese Hi Fin “Hifin” Banded Shark (Myxocyprinus asiaticus) 1 Earth Eater Cichlid (Geophagus jurupari) 2 Fancy Goldfish (Carassius auratus) 4 Rosy Red Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 3 Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) 1 Keyhole Cichlid (Aequidens maroni) 4 Pleco (Plecostomus) 1 Royal Pleco (Panaque nigrolineatus) 1 Blue Gourami ((Trichogaster trichopterus) 9 Bumblebee Goby (Brachygobius xanthozona) 8 Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) 3 Rasbora (Rasbora heteromorpha) 2 Albino White Cloud Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes) 2 Darter Fish 1 Bluefin Killifish?

Prehistoric shark captured on film
57th – Most Discussed (All Time) – Pets & Animals – Global

Video- ITV News Wednesday January 24-2007 A species of shark rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is about 2,000 feet under the sea was captured on film by staff at a Japanese marine park this week.
The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.
Marine park staff caught the 5 foot (1.6 meter) long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a “living fossil” because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.
The shark appeared to be in poor condition when park staff moved it to a seawater pool where they filmed it swimming and opening its jaws.
“We believe moving pictures of a live specimen are extremely rare,” said an official at the park. “They live between 1,968 and 3,280 feet (600 and 1,000 meters) under the water, which is deeper than humans can go.”
“We think it may have come close to the surface because it was sick, or else it was weakened because it was in shallow waters,” the official said.

Yes, I know this is an odd assortment of fish. It was an experiment to see if this random group could “hang” together. So far so good. This tank is unusual not only for the variety of species but the size variences which range from 1/2 inch to 9+ inches.
