Pic of the tank, filter recently got cleaned thus the microbubbles

Rotkeil and G.pindare

Other Rotkeil and G.abalios

Abalios with a mouthful of sand and food

The Pindare are subadults at around 3.5" so they are about as colored as they will get. But when will my Abalios really start to color up? They are about 4" or so now, the Rotkeils are also about 4"...they have quite a bit of changing to do as well.

Nice looking tank. You'll get more colour out of the sp. "Pindare" yet. Give the abalios another inch or two if you've got males.

Nice setup. When I had abalios they started to grow their nice trailers, and color up at 5". It's pretty much the same case with the Altifrons I have now.

That's what I don't like about RENA too...see if you can wrap some moss on the tubes. They do stand out, probably because the rest of the tank look too good

Yeah I also hate the rena light blue tubes and will never understand why they opted to go with that color. If I didnt already have hydor inline heaters I would get some of those smart heaters that also serve as intakes. I do have some Spiral Vals coming next week that will hopefully hide the intakes. Thanks for the heads up on when the geos will start to color. Im expecting around 5-6" on the Rotkeils as well before they start to get that nice coloration.
