My custom Mata Mata and South American Blackwater Tank

Pleco actually came out under the lights today!! I noticed micro bubbles clinging to my Kelberi so I added salt and raised temps to 85. The change has definately energized the pleco!!

Actually my daughter and I are trying to convince my wife to put a 180 gallon in my living room....that will house the larger cichlids someday.....

A 180g is too small for any adult bass. Kelberi get over 24". So why short yourself with a 180g? It's easier to ask for forgiveness, than it is to ask for permission

I have not seen many that size....I started with them after incorrect research said 12" max....I have the 180. It will be good for a while....I cannot go bigger in the house. unfinished basement maybe someday.
