[cane76]

fish are looking good mate and so does the new tank project
nice cichla how bigs the knife?
i thought you had problems with the aro and bass?
does the green look like its getting slight drop eye in the right eye?

 

[mark7616]

Lol I thought someone would say that I caught his as he was turning his eyes are fine mate but thanks the knife is prob about 8" the aro doesnt really like the bass but in the bigger tank they can kee out of each others way and im upping the numbers so the agression is spread. Was gonna buy a campbelli today but ill get one when the big tank is filled next week.

Mark that tank is freakin sweet man
Good buy the yepzi, you get it from tropical imports?
Loving the chilas too, how many have you got?
Not sure if youve heard of him, but for some interesting tank ideas with lots of chilas have a look for DIESELMACK, I assume you know where

Yeah I know where I have 2 cichla at the minute the ocellaris and the monoculas they will all go in the 400 next saturday so ill be picking up 1 more ocellaris to add to it so I can up the numbers as the aro has a disliking for bass but I recon thats cause he has no space in the 5x2x2 that he is in should all change soon.

 

[CAC]

Good stuff.
So are you going to get partners for the rays or just leave as is? If you were going to get one more ray to pair with one, I would get a yepzi (easier to sell cos their less common, and with two motoros they may dominate the single yepzi).
Are there going to be or are there any cats in there?
Whats your final stocking going to be?

 

[mark7616]

Dunno on final stocking as I can put so much in there. As for cats I have a sorubim lima and an ornate pim going in and I want to get a tigrinus from somewhere.

 

[cane76]

you should of brought richards tig bargain at £250

 

[mark7616]

I was gonna but couldnt get down due to work. If he still wants rid when he is back from holiday ill go and get it.

 

[CAC]

Yeah, if I were you I would add all your most sensitive fish first, and keep the stocking low to avoid accidents with filters/aggression until new, fradgile stuff has settled into the tapwater, tankmates etc.

[mark7616]

Right the tank is painted and moved back into place. All equpiment and lights are in and ill put the first bit of water in Wednesday.

 

[CAC]

Im so envious!! What internal filters you running on it? Are those the eheim power internal filters that T1K and Cane use?
Good luck with the first fill up

 

[mark7616]

Yeah there the 2252`s

 

[helsekia2]

[cane76]
