So...what happened to the African biotope? Also, it looks like there's been some tank changes as well (saw what looks like a pair of 75s in a previous post), can you give a run down of tanks and stock lists? inquiring minds and all that.
basically the afer was preventing all non bichir existence-

the 75g’s were used to separate the afer and large bichir from the smaller fish - and i needed the 120g for my lei while i was waiting for 400g’s to get finished-

i’ll be putting everyone back into 120g minus the afer / large bichir

2- leaf
1- jewel
1- big eye / ornate cat
1- nile
1- green
1- lap
1- poly poly
1 - six banded - sexti (spelling)
1- moke
1- del

- afer - 75g - homeless

bigger bichir in 400g system - with overflow monster

i intended to make one of 400g for them but got a little arowana crazy here...

The evolutions of this bio tope -

still 100% africa - living in 125g

the leaf fish getting along strangely-

wanted to get these guys in the big tanks with my Leichardti - turns out he’s not a bichir fan / so he lives in their with an Oranate -turns out also not a bichir fan…. was chewing on my fat head earlier ??

all seem ok for now sub 12” minus big endli 16” was scratching the ISH outta my acyrlic with protruding jaw bone (old healed injury from ramming top) he’s in a bare 75g

future- after more shuffling all will go to 280g or 150g Cube -

goes to show the wisdom that rattles around here about them, goes to show it rings true -

after taking out the fat head he promptly assumed the spot on the peak of the wood in the middle of the tank ?

so he lives in the “angry” fish tank ?

congo took a hit - 2 leaf fish - these guys have been troopers and favorites - one on his side in QT tank - and my 9” Del -

did 50% water change as usual - only thing i can think of is i added too much or no seachem safe

doing another 50% water change now -

a bass in a neighbor tank acted funny too after w/c

we had 1st big rain of the season…. i dunno - odd ?‍♂
