My newly established RBP tank. Kicked out a bunch of cichlids and I dont miss um a bit (minus my orange pike who my festaes killed the day I decided they all had to go). I love my new babys.

Tank looks nice and so does the ironing board, J/K. Is it the three RBP in the tank, or are there more? Enjoy

lol, thanks. ya i thought the ironing board was a nice touch! like the sig says not 3, 30. there is actully more then 30 cause the guy who i got them from said he threw a few in for free but i didnt count and trying to count 30+ fish in a 220 is really hard.

Looks good so far but when I kept them they chewed up all the plants even the plastic ones.

ya once they clear out all the guppys that are in there now ill let them go a day or two with no food then vid it. the pleco should be fine... im just hopeing for the loaches. and im actully gonna try to put 4 4" bala sharks in later tonight. im hopeing that they might ignore them since they are so much bigger.

Go with some live plants and maybe some floating live plants to diffuse light and such. I am jealous that you can devote such a large tank to raising up RBP.
