I got a new camera and took a quick pick of the angel tank. Sorry for the dirty glass. These are most of my guys and everybody gets along and has for years.

Nice:eek: ! What size tank do you have them in?

[sharkbyte1023]

They are in a 265 now. I have a 10x4x4 coming early next week to give everybody more room. Thanx!

[1ucky]

Cool:) ! Can't wait to see that set-up!

[sharkbyte1023]

It is going to take me a long time to switch everything over. The new tank is going where that one is and i am dreading the idea of moving everyone. I have to keep both running while the new tank settles in and the fish will be moved very slowly. I will post pics on the progress.

If every a 10x4x4 tank was needed its you...... :D Thats meters right... 10mx4mx4m..... LOL.... joking...... lloking forward to the "build" details of that...... 1200 US gals! Your gonna need a commerical sized skimmer...... looking forward to that too.... I love a bit of XXX Skimmer Porn!

[ccampbell57]

Sorry to hear about the Africanus. I have heard that they are tougher than others.

I too am in the process of building a Larger home for my angels and soon to be new angels not as big as yours (8x3x3) but should be a nice display for my new guys.

[mattsilvester]

Chris.... 8x3x3.... thats gonna be great ;)

I really think for big fish the the height of water is quite important.... 3' is going to look impressive! Can't wait!

[jmccown]

Almost like mine, but not as wide. Chris, If it were me I'd go 10' long. Mine is 96x26x36high. The height looks phenomenal. However, as much as it may seem that 8' is a long tank it really isn't. If you're building a new house I'd get at least a 10' tank so you don't wish you'd gone bigger later. Of course, if you go 3' depth you could do sharks too.

[ccampbell57]

I REALLY want to do the 10' tank. It is still in the running. If I do the 10' I will make it 120x30x30. I was going to make the 8x36x36 or 8x30hx36d depending on my stocklist.

I am still deciding. The 10' would be nice because I could add in a larger Vlamingi (like the one on Divers Den) and it could house a BUNCH of more angels.

I will keep it in consideration.

[jmccown]

I've seen a 10' tank in a LFS in Ohio. I really liked the way it looked. Those would be some nice dimensions 10x30x30. All of my fish seem to just go from side to side, so length would be much more of a benefit I think. I have two vlamingii's about the size of the one on DD, streamers not as long though.

OMG beautiful emporer angelfish...OMG is that a clarion angelfish or my eyes discving me THats so cool!! anyhow how did you catch the hybrid (lemon ebili)?

[sharkbyte1023]

[danorth]

Looking forward to some close shots of the groups. Nice selection!

[amphirion]

Wow man you got to love rare fish :o . You really got an amazing tank. Do you have any other pics? or even better, a video !

[sharkbyte1023]

No video but i will work on some pics. I am new to the digital camera thing and took a few just to see how it looked. There are a few guys not in that pic but the smaller guys are just too fast. Thanx Again!

No problem... But honestly with a great tank like that you got to take a lot of pictures and post them :D ;)

[Cantonesefish]

Where did you find a pair of emps? Did you pair them up yourself?

[sharkbyte1023]

Sorry i should have said that. They were 2 that i put together. I had tried with others and it did not work. This pairing gets along without even grunting at each other.
