from earlier today..
i tossed in some spir brine and chefzilla chowdown midway thru...it is amazing how hard the butterflies hit the food and they can eat some surprisingly large pieces... can see growth on them all but the conspics small size is easy to see when around the others...she is still pretty small...this Navarchus is much bolder than the last one but that is understandable, lol... the wrought iron has grown nicely and is quite the brave fish, there is a nice close-up towards the end. the scribbleds, both, are very fast growers, these are the cb from wen. the hybrid is fast and skittish.. the gp are getting big though I am not sure that is so obvious in this.. |

My dusky butterfly typically pulls the chunk of food right out of my hand, butterflies can be really greedy.
Do you plan to keep the semis as a pair? Were they collected that way? I'd love to add one or two more, but I had always heard they wouldn't tolerate each other.

Very cool video of your quarantine tanks, thanks for posting that! Are you running multiple filters on each tank?

That video is amazing Ted. Hard to really see the size of some of those little girls without them swimming next to the PVC. What's your plans for the three GPs when they are bigger? Will they go into the 750g, or stay in their sanctuary they currently reside in? Happy Easter to you Ted!

I know you were! Hopefully Ted will surface soon, it's been over a month or so since we have heard from him

hey all,
sorry for the delay but not much going on so nothing really to update. will give a bigger update soon but mostly status quo... cool golden king going around but for a really dumb price... the tank needs some attention but here are a few GP pics... they are doing great, getting very big, and I hope to see orange at some point over the next year or so.. |

And could morph back in 6 months to the normal yet amazingly beautiful, but inexpensive fish.

That Passer is awesome, too bad for the price, and hardly worth the risk considering they can develop a pretty nasty attitude towards their tank mates.
