They are Orange Spot File Fish, I wrote a long description on my experience with them in the post that you got that picture from. It's back on the first page of the thread.

Love your tank. I am starting a similar build with the dimensions being 60"x30"x 22" (or 24" not sure). How do you like the depth (f2b) and have you had any issues with flow. Currently just working on the stand, hopefully will have the tank by Christmas, so I am putting my equipt. List together. Are there a few things you wish we're different?

Thanks! I had limited space in which to put this tank (relative to what I would like to do in the future). I feel that I have maximized the space I had. That being said, if I had more space I would have actually done a peninsula tank, view-able on both long sides and one end with an external overflow on the other end. I would have gone with a 36" front to back tank in that case. I do like the 22" high tank, but I might consider going 24" on the next tank.

I will say one of the best decisions I made was going with an external overflow, both for aesthetics and utility I feel that it was a great decision.

Bought these as jawbreaker mushrooms, not 100% sure that is what they actually are. Time will tell.

Holy Grail Rainbow Acan Echinata that I am splitting with a friend. I can only hope it lives up to its potential!

Thank you. Yeah, a few bucks here and there :wink:. The enjoyment and relaxation it brings makes it worth every last penny.

Oh, they are doing great! They eat ova, brine, mysis and sustainable aquatic dry hatchery pellets (the small ones). They really are getting fat.
