12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

its funny. I usually buy the three pound box of Tetra Cichlid Sticks. at boxing week, I didn't get a box, since I figured my fish would basically be too small for them for a while (didn't know I was going to end up with redhooks at the time)...

these baby lemons wolf down the floating sticks that are almost half their body length like its nothing, often stealing from the redhooks mouths LOL Thats why they are growing so fast..

now, my LFS is having trouble getting me in a three pound box of the stuff

its so much cheaper than buying it per can...

You still have one of the huge lemon barbs right? Is he going to move into this tank eventually if you still have him?

no, I had to sell him when I sold my old 90. it won't be long for these guys though

I put the nippy clown loaches back in. I didn't get rid of them, they were living in my quarentine tank and doing well.

I am having hard time believing they could be so nippy...I have been keeping clowns for almost 20 years with everything from cardinal tetras to discus and they have NEVER been nasty...I am hoping these guys will eventually settle down..

keeping my fingers crossed..
