330 gallon Central American cichlid community progress

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
lol I know right? My biggest tank is a 150g, so I'm more limited than you lol. I ordered the 2 robertsoni with 6 pasionis from the Wet Spot and the pasionis have nearly doubled the robertsoni in size. If Jeff had these fish at the time I probably would have bought them from him, but he rarely gets robertsoni so I jumped at the opportunity. He is definitely more likely to have pasionis.
When I ordered the synspilum he said he'd be getting some pasionis in within the next few months from his friend he said so patiently waiting lol. And you'll get the 300 gallon plus some day! We should start a gofund me for you so you can get the tank and the fish lol

Awesome! That is one of the cool things about him. You just have to mention what you are looking for and he'll look out for you.
My main issue w/ a larger tank is lack of space. We are thinking of selling our house in 5 years. I will make sure the next house will support larger tanks (the wife doesn't know this yet) lol.

It's all good man ya win some and you lose some. How's your tank holding up? You finally get rid of those mascara barbs
Kind of.... I took them to the vet clinic that I take care of the two fish tanks at, So I still get to see them but I don't have to put up with their bs. lol I got everyone moved to the 180 and I was tearing down the 75 and I found a ton of babies hiding in the dark depths of the 75 so I have 40+ baby barbs in a 40b tied into the 180 system. So yeah sort of...

Yea hes an awesome guy and will do business with him in the future. very helpful with any questions that I had and even allowed me to have to fish shipped when it would arrive most conveniently for myself to get them. Never had anybody do that.

But just remember... its easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for approval! LOL

Lol! You sound experienced in this department. It's funny the wife hates the fish tanks and calls them "stupid fish", but keeps asking me to get an oscar lol. I catcher watching the tank, I don't think she'll admit she likes it lol.

They are pretty small. Maybe 1/8" if that. They must have been just born before I took them out. Funny thing I'm not 100% if they lay eggs or live, think they are egg layers. Lol

He is supportive of my hobby and enjoys the tanks a lot, and likes that they make me happy.

He is supportive of me getting a larger tank when we move, and as long as we have the space and I can get a good deal he'll be OK with it. (Even though he's thinking like 90 gallon and I'm thinking double that LOL)

I'm lucky for the most part in that aspect.

lol I think my girlfriend would murder me so don't take my advice. But she said the same in the beginning but now when I say you want to feed the fish she gets all excited and runs over to do it. Just need to get her to help clean the thing one of these days...

But get an oscar! I would like one someday

One day I'll get another oscar. I am loving my current set up. Will probably split up the stock eventually though.

Especially this guy. My biggest fish at maybe 8". Nothing I have right now will get bigger then that. An oscar would be too aggressive for him.
