Walter is definitely a betta fish. I think Isabeau is some kind of loach maybe a clown loach or smth, Jonathan is a plecostomus and Flynn is a bichir but one of the small ones like a Senegal bichir

You autistic bitches post about the tiktaalik all the time I think you should check out bichirs
They're a fish they have lungs they can breathe air they can walk on land theyre like the closest thing to tiktaalik being real in today-times. Pictured is the senegal bichir but there's lots of kinds. also they death roll like alligators it's dope. They have puppy face with silly nose.

My most unrealistic dream pets are a dwarf caiman, a pied retic, and a Senegal bichir. I'll probably never have the funds for them but...imagine...

A Senegal bichir, or perhaps a rope fish as a doodle? 👀
I’ve been getting a lot of fish requests which surprised me!
Several asked for a Coelacanth so I included them here too!

My 75 gallon Central African tank!
Stocking and such below
Fish/Inverts
Senegal Bichir (Polypterus senegalus) x2
AKA Dinosaur Bichir. They get 9-12 inches, they're badass predators but the tankmates will be safe, too big to be aggressed upon. I've got one albino and one normal one. Their names are Bulk and Skull, like from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. They have true lungs and can breathe people-air! It's cool to watch them do it.
Leopard Bushfish (Ctenopoma acutirostre) x1
AKA Spotted Climbing Perch. Gets about 5-9 inches but is a slow grower, so considering moving him to a 20 long with one of my Krib pairs and my Synos when I eventually move them and he can return to the 75 when big. In the wild these guys drift along until they're close enough to nab some prey that thinks they're just a leaf. His name is Demi because of the famous Demi Moore photo.
Peters's Elephant Nose Fish (Gnathonemus petersii) x1
AKA Ubangi Mormyrid. By far my most interesting guy. He's an electric fish, and that silly proboscis is called a Schnauzenorgan, covered in electroreceptors, which he uses to snuffle around for worms. He has an organ in his ass that generates an electric field. No, really. They've also got the highest brain to body oxygen usage ratio of any vertebrate. He's super cute and full of personality! Wild caught, too, so this guy traveled across half the planet to get to me. In ancient Egypt these guys were believed to have eaten the penis of Osiris and were worshipped in the city of Oxyrhynchus.
Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) x4
AKA Rainbow Cichlid. An African cichlid that's not an asshole? Sign me up. Well, they're still assholes but only to each other. You probably could spot a full grown 4" male, a pair of 2" female and male, and a 1.5" female in the video if you look closely. Incredibly beautiful fish, very aggressive when they breed, so I plan to separate one pair of kribs into a 20g and leave the other in the 75. One of the rare instances where the females are the flashier ones!
Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) x6
One of the larger tetras kept in aquaria, they get about 4 inches or so too. Semi-aggressive, which here just means they steal everyone's food and get fat, so I have to distract them with flakes on one side of the tank so everyone else can eat. Beautiful, shiny blues and reds and clear fins. Love 'em. Way overpriced for tetras though, like 8 bucks per! Comparably sized South American tetras are still $2.50 at PetSmart.
African Butterfly Fish (Pantodon buchholzi) x1
You've probably seen them in nature documentaries. They're those guys that float at the waters surface looking like a butterfly or a leaf until they see some unsuspecting bug above the water and then BAM! They jump way up and snatch 'em. Relative of the Arowana. Beautiful little guy, goes bananas bonkers when I feed him crickets.
Upside-Down Catfish (Synodontis nigriventris) x3
AKA Blotched upside-down catfish. Adorable little guys with naturally tubby bellies. They're friendly and I love them, though they'll be moving to the 20 gallon long with kribs and Demi. They really do swim upside down!
FALSE Upside-Down Catfish (Synodontis nigrita) x2
Ohohoho, you fool, you fucker. You thought you bought upside down catfish, didn't you? Well, now I'm gonna get a foot long and poop a lot and suck the slime coat off your expensive fish and kill them and look so sillycute while doing it. AND I won't even swim upside down. Will be banished to local fish store rehoming tank to be sold under the correct name this time.
Snails (Various sp.) x999999999
I've got Malaysian Trumpet Snails (intentional), Nerites (intentional), Ramshorns (unwanted hitchhikers), and Bladder Snails (unwanted hitchhikers).
Plants
Jungle Val (Vallisneria americana)
AKA Eelgrass. Not technically African but it was cheaper than the African-native Corkscrew Val.
Narrow Crinum (Crinum calamistratum)
AKA African Onion Plant. Slow growing and small so far but looks cool fully grown.
African Water Fern (Bolbitus heudelotii)
AKA Congo Fern. Really sickly and shitty from PetSmart but should improve.
Cameroon Moss (Plagiochilaceae sp.)
Really pretty moss I attached to some driftwood in small bunches, should grow in soon enough.
Anubias (Anubias heterophylla, Anubias barteri)
Probably the most well-known African aquatic plant besides lucky bamboo, you'll find this in a TON of fish tanks.
Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea zenkeri)
Still just a wee baby, eventually this'll grow into some rockin' red lily pads.
Ammania (Ammannia gracilis)
Beautiful stem plant with red-tipped leaves. Lovely pop of color.
Duckweed (Lemna minor)
Fuck this guy kill this guy. Duckweed hell one million years forever!!!!!!!!!!
Tank Setup
75 Gallon (idk brand) I believe dimensions are 48x18x21
Fluval 407 Canister filter w/ spray bar
Secondary sponge filter with air pump rated for up to 100gal
Tertiary filter running water softener pillow and establishing spare biomedia
Substrate is pea gravel and Black Diamond Blasting Sand, coarse grit.
Wood is California driftwood/ghost wood iirc, got it at a reptile expo.
Light is Finnex Planted+ 24/7 (I just leave it on auto mode)
Heaters are 3 preset tetra 100W heaters. Nothing fancy.
There's caves made out of PVC piping covered with pond foam.
That bag you see is weighing the driftwood down since it's a little new, it still wants to float.
Leaf litter is mostly oak and live oak and a bit of catappa.
This shit all cost me way more than was reasonable at all jesus christ it was pricy but it's so worth it.
