My Cen Am Tank update (VIDEO)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
have you considered switching to a lighter substrate? It really makes the color pop out in Vieja species imo. Fish look otherwise in great shape, how big is the tank btw?
 
Tanks like this is why I hate fish keeping. All day I've been watching my tanks with only 1ca and now I want another tank.
 
Very nice! Man that Pearsei is growing fast. How big is he? What size tank is that?
Thanks! ... yeah my Male Pearsei has grown very fast. and he is huge. i would say he's getting close to 13" and very thick. i rehomed the female yesterday. to many failed breeding attempts and the male was starting to beat up the female. [ i wil post the new vid after the female was rehomed very soon.] ... plus i was concerned about bio load. my Synsupilums are the stars of my tank. .. my tank is approx 140 gallon. 6 foot x 2 foot.

I have condidered it. and it think your probably right. before this stocking i used white sand, and though i liked it, but overall i wasn't happy with sand getting into filter intakes; and i didn't like vacumming sand as well. though i like the look of sand better and i think fish are more comfortable in sand. ... obviously you can tell that i have been going back. ... one thing though, i believe in a lot of filtration (and different types of filtration in combonation) and a lot of water movement. the watermovement doesnt go with sand. .....

So, your probably thinking , "what about natural river pebbles". i have always found those a little too boring. ... but with your comment , i will consider the lighter substrate. even if its the boring natural gravel. lol. THANKS AGAIN! :)

HA HA. ... Glad i may have inspired you a bit. ;)





The fish look amazing. I love the driftwood. Did you buy it or find it?
THanks Night hawk. I bought the driftwood from my LFS. the owner goes to L.A. and picks it up. I told him i wanted a couple large pieces and he didn't dissapoint.
 
have the brighter light on. ... did some maintenance. moved the driftwood around a bit. rehomed the female Pearsei. (see notes above if curious why).
