Congrats. You already know I am addicted to that female. I was gonna ask her hand in marriage until this big bloke came along. Danks a lot Clockster!JK
I am now reduced to adopting her youngens.

BTW
They'll wreak havoc once they spawn.

Congrats again.

Thanks man! Yeah we are preparing for some fish to be moved around if or when they spawn. Id like to keep them in the 300 but they may need their own home at some point.

I have a few questions:

1: How big is that tank?
2: How do you keep the water that clear? What filters do you use?
3: Do you use anything to remove the tannin from the wood?

Last thing, I want you tank lol

Very nice.

Jeff, you did an amazing job on that male, I should have told you I wanted him way back when you first sent me pics.

Get them spawning OP, and like bomillyiam stated, once they start to spawn, it could get ugly.

Good luck.

lol Thanks! Tank is 300 (96x24x30) and is filtered with a 2400gph 75 gallon sump. I use 2 7" socks.......1 100 micron and 1 50. I also use about a liter of Purigen to take the edge of the wood leeching.
