Nice work!! I was thinking about adding a bottom feeder of some sort to clean up unbeaten food so I don't have to constantly remove his mess

New baby black aro

Apple snails man. They actually are competing for the aro sticks. I only put the bichir in there because he's going in the 180 with 17 bichirs and he's gonna have to get used to it. I dont want him to try and jump out when I put him in the 180.

5" update. Tank mates are now 6 bichirs and an African brown knife. I took a lot of floating plants out of the aquarium so he has room to swim.

How long will he have that orange colour to his tail? I've seen adult black aros that look pretty much like a silver.

It never goes away fully, it just becomes thinner as it grows. Blacks have a more grey coloration when they are older from what Ive seen. I dont like how silvers look when they get over two feet. They look really chunky and get drop eye, whereas blacks stay slimmer and dont get drop eye. To me thats worth the extra 30 dollars I paid for it, even if they look very similar.
Im not sure how big this one is, but its at least 18". The colors never go away, just slim down a bit.

HOw much did you get him for? Right now theres a couple near me for 90$ a pop around 2-3 inches. I'm scared of getting them that small, because I might not even make it to survive.
