135g CA Tank Update

[Jmart159]

My wife graduated in December and just finished her first week at her new job. As a celebration, we went out and bought her a new Canon Rebel. So, of course I had to play with it a little and figured I would use it to do an update on my 135g. These photos have been edited to help make up for my poor photography skills. However, I tried not to go overboard and to just keep it realistic. I hope you enjoy.

First my little black belt.



This is the Male Bocourti.





Synspilum



A single of the little Bullhead


A group shot.


And just to throw an extra in there. Here is one of my jag. I just did a water change so there are bubbles everywhere.

Thanks for sharing.

The black belt looks really good. The male bocourti is looking really chunky and of coz the syn looks amazing.

All of your fish look great

Thanks. The Syn and the Bocourti are both pushing 12" and are gluttons. Unfortunately, the Syn hasn't yet achieved the thick body shape and nuchal hump I was hoping for. I still like him pretty good though.

What are u feeding them with ?

I usedvto feed my bocourti carnivore pellets n shrimp b4 someone here enlightened me that I should stop feeding them those if I wanted them to live longer.

Currently only feeding him Hikari cichlid gold pellets.

Southern Delight mostly with a little hikari gold, and omega one algae wafers mixed in. Also, I try to feed them a head of Romaine at least once a week. I normally try to plan that one a day or two before my water change because it goes right through them and can really make a mess.

So mainly like a vege delight kind of meal yah

My bocourti always poops during my water change and it can be quite annoying

How is behavior in the tank with all those large cichlids? Any aggression from the jag? Your fish are gorgeous. I hope my syn's turn out to be as colorful... Nice work
