    Distichodus Sexfasciatus. its a cool fish. they are peace keepers lol. he swims around the tank and breaks up fights all day ( he's like referee fish ) and all the fish in the tank respect him. its a congo river fish.

    I love your fish tank setups!
    But i think you might have a major problem in time.... in picture #19... both of the 2 fishes are gonna get real big... (the orange with strips & the white and black fish) i think they can reach up to 11 inches for the orange dude and maybe 16 inches for the white and black dude... i might be wrong but i think i seen them that big before... so be prepared.. :)
