pleco and rays have been together for almost a year... no problems. i keep the pleco well fed!!! thats the key i think. there are 4 plecos in there. scarlet, albino gibbiceps, sunshine, galaxy.

[nigaharu]

Picture #9 is my favorite!

[biggfish]

Wow. That pike doesn't try to pick on those rays or the other fish?

[omojena]

Full tank shot?

full tank shot as per requests.

[omojena]

Wow. That pike doesn't try to pick on those rays or the other fish?

not at all. they are quite mild. there is actually pair of pikes in there male and female crenicichla 'xingu' sp. 1. keep them well fed. they eat hikari pellets and frozen krill. they eat 2 - 4 times a day.

[omojena]

Picture #9 is my favorite!

thanks!!! mine too... its hard to get it in focus with all those fish moving constantly. they come to the right side of the tanks cuz thats where i drop the hikari sinking carnivore pellets in.

[Tom]

Love it!!!

[dirtybear]

[omojena]

[aquaman45]

Very nice collection,i like the way you have decorated the tank,it allows for movement of the rays but still looks very interesting,cracking pieces of bogwood...well put together!

[DucatiDragster]

[zoohouse]

Badass tank and badass camera. Nice:thumbsup:

thanks. thats what i was thinking! making swimming space while keeping it real with the amazon biotope.

[tank125]

Nice set-up Omar, I am really proud of you for keeping the flowers in QT still! This will make their transition to my pond easier for them and me.

[cichlaguapote]

[jwong1024]

[LBathory]

nicely chosen stock. beauiful rays and plecos.

[Fly River]

Awesome setup. Love the fish

[NikkiC]

Wow great setup, nice rays and fish

[Bogwoodbruce]

Very impressive i think that pic #1 is my fave.

Although i wouldnt trust the plecos in there especially with them being leporcanthus species, if they wanted they could do some serious damage

[Nic]

nice shots...

[mkman]

DAAAAAAAANG!! AMAZING tank, thanks for sharing

[dodgers86]

Great tank you have there. Have you thought about a light colored sand for the rays?

[fobrinkle]

Sweeeeeeet Tank! What kind of filtration do you have on the 180?

[indiana.dutton]

i dont have that tank anymore you know. ill post some photos if you want but there were no rays in there.

[SovietFireExtinguisher]

That's a tight looking set up. No pun intended.

[cichlid fiend]

vERY nice tank, i thought it was a 265.

[fastfreddy]

That's what I used to say. Scarlett is by far my favorite Pleco. I had one with my Leos for about a year. One day I came home from work and one of my Leos was completely white. The Scarlett was still sucking on it. Mine too was very well fed. It was a very ugly site. It can happen very quickly. I've heard other horror stories and the Scarlett is probably the worse Pleco to keep with Rays. Good luck and I hope it keeps working out for you. They do look amazing together.

They were in a 240. I fed them that morning and would feed them at night. Just keep a watch full eye.

[Jamieishard]

very awesome i love the stingrays....and the plecos is really nice too

[omojena]

i def will. i feed mine 4 - 6 times a day with small amounts. the plecos come out at every feeding. i will keep an eye on them though.

[omojena]

very nice, i thought my 210 was overstocked...lol

lol... i always like to overstock. the fish dont pick on eachother and finicky feeders learn to eat faster.. IMO. i do 80% water changes 1 - 2 sometimes even 3 times a week. my no3 stays under 20ppm always.

[neoprodigy]

that is hot!

[StealthAssassin]

SWEET BABY JESUS!!! THATS A NICE TANK!!! MAD PROPS YO!!!

[Tongue33]

NICE!! I like your piece of the amazon!! :D

[omojena]

LOL!!! thanks!

[polish]

. i always like to overstock. the fish dont pick on eachother and finicky feeders learn to eat faster.. IMO.

This has been my experience as well, in most all cases.

I think the tank looks fantastic, great choice of stock, and very well maintained. Excellent job.:D

[fishman61]

speechless, jaw hit the ground

[swede]

sick setup!

[omojena]

with new imports especially stingrays i quarentine in a barebtoom tank and do water changes daily. when i know they arent sick i throw them into the large tank and the FLOURISH! i just had a flower ray that was in quarentine for about 80 days and only ate night crawlers and began chewing on some whole prawn. i threw him into the big tank and within 5 days he learned how to eat krill, shrimp, silversides and is chewing on pellets!!!

[Aquaribum]

Just a beautiful tank. The Peacock really looks great and I think the black sand brings out the marbles. Just a great set up all around. Where did you get the wood center piece? I'm looking for something similar for my 125. Are you going to gt a back drop? I think staying with the black would be AWESOME

thanks! the wood is acutally 4 peices that i screwed together with stainless steel deck screws. then i tied some anubias nana, java moss, and java fern onto the wood with fishing line.

[jdiidy271]

i love the pleco colors

[omojena]

he is bright! i wish i knew if it was male or female and then findone of the opposite sex to try to breed them!
