Gold Red Spotted Severum.....

                                                  Heros efasciatus

Perhaps the most uniquely colored of the Severums. Bold red markings on a gold body makes this fish stand out in the freshwater aquarium hobby.  I bought six from a trusted wholesaler .  The fish arrived with Ich.  lets just say the Ich arrived...and then the fish.

The parasites where soon dismissed. With extreme prejudice.  All  of the six fish survived.

....And so the angriest one was subjected to the camera.

Killin' time..

The critter above is a type of red leg hermit crab from the  Philippines, I believe he has monkey blood in him...or has had some sort of commando training....he can climb anything...hanging upside down or not,....



This is a single polyp of teal ring zoanthids..

Mouth of a hairy green mushroom..

This is picture I submitted for the photo contest...

It's not a question of losing,,,,it's how bad I get beat...
I did learn an interesting trick, I may or may not be able to replicate in future, on posting photo's on the BARS forum itself.  Therefor, it was worth it.
