Was just doing a WC and caught a couple pics of my little fatty. I got him at less than an inch and he is probably 4" TL now.

He's awesome! He looks like a mix of Felix and Salem with his colours. And he's quite a chubby little guy isn't he?
Mine aren't that big yet, I'd guestimate around 2" somewhere, still babies and so cute!!!
Hahaha seeing him makes me think that maybe I'm not feeding mine properly... They only look that fat after a big meal... Kind of like this:
The big piece of wood on the right is coming out once I get some to replace it with. It doesn't fit in the tank any other way than that and there's still 2-3" of it poking out the top lolThat looks awesome. Maybe try and collect more rocks and make formations of that rather than wood. I think you have enough wood already
it will be re-scaped once I've got more stuff to scape it with.
that's exactly my 1st thought when I looked at itThat looks awesome. Maybe try and collect more rocks and make formations of that rather than wood. I think you have enough wood already
Why don't you just go collect your own from Nature and save the $$$ for other stuff?????????????? I NEVER pay money for décor, it's a waste of cash. Stuff you obtain yourself from the wild looks much more natural anyway. PVC pipes are the only thing I buy because I haven't found a good spot in the wild to find themThe big piece of wood on the right is coming out once I get some to replace it with.

The scape was just thrown together (hence the extremely unnatural looking way the wood on the left is sitting) to give everyone enough hiding spots since most of the tanks residents spend all day hidden
I plan on getting more tigers eye for it and if I can find some nice greyish rock maybe something like that too but I'm a little limited by what stuff here costs, those two rocks in there cost me almost $30 so it may take a while lol

damn, your Butterfly fish died?I'm going to collect river rocks as well.
Get a butterfly too. Awesome fish (Until they go off food, die and get half eaten while you are at school with 10ppm nitrate. I am wondering what happened
Yep. Looked for 4 months for a healthy looking specimin. Paid 5 dollars for a 2" fish and put him through QT, ate well (including 2 of my danios) and was fine in the 70. fairly active at times and nobody bothered him. In the past week he went on and off food and wouldn't eat before school and when I came home he was dead. Now I need to look for another one after I get floating plants
