125...Then & Now

[Nemesis]

Argentea is temporary, she was getting messed by the male. She's been ok here so far (1 week), with occasional chasing, but nothing serious. I plan on adding some more plants. Also the rock on the driftwood is so it will sink. I have been trying to sink that sucker for almost 2 months. Anyways, let me know what you think.

Wow I think that it looks great. Just a couple of things that I gotta know. What happened to the chocolates. And with all those great looking SA and Ca cichlids, why keep a dat??? ( sorry I just dont think too highly of dats ) I really love all of the activity.....

Thanks. Sold the Chocolates. They were amazing looking fish, but they were kind of boring to me. The Dat .... well, I have had that little guy for the past 6+ months in a 20g, and it has grown from 1" to 2". I had to move him to put in my Beani fry, and I really didn't want to set up another tank just for him, so I just threw him in here. I was going to sell him, but I have become a bit attached . Maybe if he decides to grow a bit more, I will reward him with his own tank..lol.

looks great!! lots of activity, love it but it looks a bit over crowded. love your geos

 

[Nemesis]

Thanks. Yeah, it is a bit overcrowded, but there are no signs of aggression other than the ellioti(chasing, but never any damage) and the argentea, which is only temporary, and not very aggressive at all, other than at feeding time. Plus I think the 2 Eheim 2217's and the FX5 I have on here can handle the load.

Although I kind of like the look, ultimately my stock will be slimmed down to close to half of what you see. I'm waiting for the geos to pair up, so I can choose who I want to keep. I'm also going to get rid of all but 3 of the Guianacara, maybe 4. And I am currently selling the 3 Ellioti, and Gymnogeophagus sp. Norte. The Dat will eventually have to go also.
