Picked up two pairs of Orange Cacatuoides Apisto

[voss345]

Just picked up two pairs, one male is about 2"+ one is 1.5" the females are both a little bit bigger than 1.25"
trying to get pictures of them but packing for Yellowstone and leaving tommorow for a few days so gotta get the clothes gear, fly rods and spinning rods packed away

oh yea they went into the 45 gallon planted with 8 swartzi corys around 3" and 7 red eye tetras

Decided against the Discus huh... lol went with apisto's for the tank. Should look great in that tank.

Nice. I like that species!

[ewok]

in a tank that size you would honestly only be able to fit like 3 adult discus max...

yea im laying off the discus for now, my little cousin who i got into fishkeeping has a ton of tanks and wants me to start doing discus, when i move my tanks up to his house for college mostlikely ill set one up there, for now though im liking the apistos corys and tetras, might sell the red eyes and get another group of tetras

yea ronnie im traveling alot, went out to yellowstone, meet up with some family out there, my mom wanted to go out there to meet up with her brother who just recooped from prostate cancer
fishing was really sweet, yellowstone is trout paradise for anyone who loves flyfishing
mostly caught cutthroat in the gibbon river and its tributaries, some smaller graylings, and browns, for anyone who has been to yellowstone there is basically a river with awesome fishing along every road and thats basically what i did
fished, firehole river, gibbon and tributaries + madison




i will post up some pics in the lounge later maybe of my trip
dont really have much pictures of the fish as my mom spent the battery on the buffalo, elk, ol faithful etc :headbang2
