Such pretty fish you have!

 

[snowflake311]

Thank you..


So I got my rescues 'Geophagus' sp. "Bahia Red". she is twice as big as my blue acara. Well my Blue acara is being a jerk to my new fish. he chases her a lot. My severum will even chase her a little but not much. The EBJD is an angle leaving everyone alone and just does his own thing. But at times still will chase the severum out of his way. This is only day 2 of the New fish being in the tank.

My blue acara needs to take a chill pill. Or this"Bahia Red" needs to step up and not let them push her around. They are just working out the pecking order. As of right now my Blue Acara is being a jerk. He will go after my EBJD The Bahia Red not so much the Severum.

I'm not to worried about the new fish seeing that she got her butt kicked by african cichlids my little 3" punks have not even nipped her just chase.

Here is the 'Geophagus' sp. "Bahia Red"looking beat up. This is why I had to have her.

I will post more photos of her when she heals.

As soon as I start working again and make some money I'm getting a bigger tank. I made a deal. I get a 100 Gal but have to sell the 55 gal.

I Moved stuff around again in the tank. Added a sword plant we will see if my severum will let it be.
Here is the tank now

Here are my cichlids getting along well with each other. You can see my new fish is a big sweety never gets nasty to her new family. I'm very happy I got this fish.

WOW your bahia healed up real quick! Looking gorgeous

 

[snowflake311]

Thanks. His fins do look a way better then before. But he still has some holes in his head. They are healing. He is way happier now.

Tank looks great and as said,the newbies healing very well,congratulations....just keep up the waterchanges as i know you do and it should heal quite quick as it looks like a very mild case of hith

 

[snowflake311]

Thanks guys. Her fins are like 80% better just need to get a little longer. They are no longer split. The holes or hith looks to be getting smaller. She has holes going half way down her lateral line. They are healing up now. I do 2 wc a week about 50-40%. I feed differant good foods twice a day.

Have been trying to get a new photo of her but she does not photograph as well as my ebdj and severum. She will pose for me always comes over to see what I'm doing. My gosh she loves to dig mostly only around things. I'm so happy she has fit in so well with my others. I got lucky.

 

[snowflake311]

Here is my rescue his fin are 100% healed. her HITH is going away. The lateral line looked really bad she had good size holes all along it. You can see them on the first photo I ever took of her. Now the holes have closed up mostly.

He has the stress line because he is camera shy and dose not like the flash. I might stress him out too when I stare at him. I can see him now and he is full of blue specks and one black dot. But he cant see me.

I just like this photo

I took this photo a few weeks ago this is him with out the stress line.

This is fish is hard to get a good photo of. He is camera shy.

My tank is now Fully stocked yes maybe over stocked. No more fish shooing for me I'm done. I just got 3 pictus cats I love these fish. I have always loved my catfish but these guys rock. Coolest fish I own. I also added a tall Mellon sward the fish love it.

I'm watching craigs list for a 100 gal 5 foot tank as soon as I find one it's go time I'm ready. I found a 90 gal but I want a tank longer then 4 ft.

Here is my over stocked tank list.
6 red eye tetras 2" ( will rehome before they become lunch)
6 emperor tetras 2"-3" ( I love these fish might have to move them when the cichlids grow up)
3 pictus cats 2"-3" ( my new loves)
1 ebjd 3" ( my old love)
1 Geo Bahia red 4" ( my sweet rescue)
1 green severum 3.5" ( such a fun fish)
1 blue acara 3" ( I don't know what to do with this fish. I have 2 might just sell off this male)
1 rubbernose pleco 3"

My new pictus cat

I'm so excited. I'm going to look at a 125 gal 6 foot long glass tank. This could be the one. In the photo it looked really good and I love the stand. I made room for it moved some stuff around. I might get my new tank tomarrow if we can fit it in the car.

Ahhh I'm so excited.

 

[Wills]

That is the best photo of a pictus catfish ever!!

 

[snowflake311]

Thanks it was a lucky shot.

I'm getting a 110 gal 5 footer this week I'm so excited. My new fish will be here this week too. Then my dream tank will be complete.

Wills good luck with the new severum. I'm glad you found you can't wait for photos.

 

[snowflake311]

I got the 100 gal tank. I just need to set it up. My new fish came in. So my 100 gal will be a little over stocked but they are all still young I will see what happens as they mature. Here are the new babies they are chilling in a 10 qt tank to recover from being shipped.

My tiny 1" heros notatus

The 1.5" red severum.

Now I'm done buying fish no more. I told my husband when these fish I have now pass away I will convert to SW. But I could be many years till then. Can't wait till my new tank is up I hope to have it done next week.

 

[snowflake311]

I'm done. I put my 100 gal together tonight. The plants are where I want them but the rocks and stuff will get move. I'm also getting a black background. So it's almost done. I'm ordering another filter too new bulbs these are pretty old. I might
get more plants too. So this is like a rough draft of how I want the decor.

So here it the tank I have been waiting for.

I'm growing out my 2 new severums a bit before I add them to this tank.
