the tank is 8 foot 40 inches wide and 28 inches tall... i have a 36" trickle filter and two large external filters running on it... i have had the monos since they were about 2" and the orinos were about 4" when i got them. i have 4 orinos and 6 monos which i'm trying to pair up and intend to keep just a pair of each type...
i will try and get some full tank shots in the next few days...

Certainly these have the WOW factor! You really make us want Monos.
BTW, what are your water parameter and food regime?

Those are the best Mono peacock bass I have ever seen. The orino is stunning too.

the pikes are red tapajos... finally managed to get them to bond and tolerate each other in the same tank... they are definitely the most aggressive pikes i have ever kept!! one of the nicest though!
