Very nice I really like the lighting, gives the tank a nice atmosphere and mood.
Beautiful as always.
I like driftwood hard scapes if they are done well. This is a great example of why.
Got to admire any keeper that has the words 280 gal and nursery in the same sentence. Looking really good.
I would love to have a 280 let alone a 280 gallon nursery. The tank looks great as well
looks great I love the cichla crenicichla combo imo the myersi isn't going to do well in that community
Thank you sir. Really appreciate the compliment.
Thanks Dan. I’m hoping to upgrade this tank next year to something that’ll accommodate all these fish as adults.
Thank your Bertie!
Very much appreciated sir!
Thank you. I agree on the myersi. How did you grow yours out and what were the tankmates?
I had some grow outs that I grew out with some gephyrum did fine while young but I ended up moving and getting rid of them .. also had the parents solo in the community they didn’t do well at all just not as aggressive . Lost the pair to aggressive columnaris wish I still had them
This is my third time with them as well. My second batch made it tk the point I had a pair that pushed 8”. Then I lost them to vertigo. These are tough fish to maintain long term.
Do you still have the small batch? I always admired your pair.
Few more pics of my myersi. They seem comfortable today.
