Want to say HI

[JJJohnston]

Just wanted to say Hi. I've been a member for a long time just never posted anything yet. I have a 210gal Oceanic Bowfront tank with 2 Monster Tinfoils, big Plec, Oscar and JD. I have in a 55 gal grow out tank 2 more Tinfoils. I am getting shortly in the future a Flagtail Prochilodus and a Hyspabarbus Wetmorei(yellow fin barb) that will also go in the 55 before I add them to the 210.

Thanks for viewing

Just wanted to add that the pic of the tank was taken when I first set it up, I upgraded from a 100gal to this big tank. It has different lighting on it now, just hadn't taken a more recent pic

Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for the welcomes. i have been a little busy without you guys as it seems... oops I will post some pics of the old tank and some old photos of the big guys

My Oscar she's about 14" in this pic. (I've seen her lay eggs so I know she's a female)

one of my favorite pics of

and my female JD

I do absolutely love this new tank and the fish seem much happier. They were getting a little crowded in the 100gal

Thank you Red Devil.

My plans next is: I want to update the lighting more... it's never ending I know. I would like to add some moon light LED and some Regular LED strip lighting. And I want to add just a few more fish to my current stock.. I already posted what I want to add in my first post, I have 2 tinfoils that I bought a couple months ago as fry. only 1/2 inch big. They are now almost 3". I want them to grow a bit more before adding them to the big tank. Also in the grow out tank are 2 catfish that my husband thought he had to have. They are to go into the 210 as well when they get alittle bigger, they are now 5" . The LFS called them 4line pictus they are in the same family as the pictus cat anyway. and they get about 10" max.

In the future I do plan on upgrading to an even bigger tank. I want to get a 500+ gal.. But for now the 210gal will have to do.

I do want to get a semaprochilodus insigna(flagtail prochilodus) and a hyspabarbus wetmorei(Yellow fin barb) I do like my Barbs. The only thing is I have searched everywhere and can't find either one. I am currently on a waiting list for the two at my local LFS. But it seems that I may have to hold off on these guys as my tank is already getting full of fish.. lol
