I added 5 more fish to my collection... 3 Araguaia Kels, 1 Araguaia Azul, & 1 rio Sipapo Tem. All tiny little fish & I wasn't sure if all would make it... Especially 1 little Kel that was struggling. But it's been 48 hours now & they are all acclimated & eating guppies & bloodworms! Thanks Lovethemfish... I'll get to see your bunch grow up along side a lot of others around the same age!
 
Very awesome. Hope you keep sharing pictures.
 
Hell yeah I'll keep posting pics...I really enjoy sharing on here. I am learning a lot about these fish. These guys are currently in a 75 gallon over at my office so I can't get pics until tomorrow. The fish room is growing! Currently I have a 115G, 300G, 75G, 2 40's, & a 55G... And then a 75G & 20long at home. And I have a 84x38x30 going to be delivered next week! Once I slow down with setting everything up I am going to have to train one of my warehouse workers to do the maintenance on all these tanks for me!
 
The 5 of them are in a new 75 gallon I put in my office. I used water from a water change of my 300 & some old filter media from a aqua clear 70 & they did fine acclimating. The tank was empty except for a little sand on the bottom & 2 nice sized rocks holding my air stones down. The 5 of them all stayed in the back corner next to the heater all the time & spooked every time I came in the room... Today I decided to go get some nice driftwood & a couple nice sized rocks & a plant or 2.... What a difference! They immediately came out of their shell & started eating & acting great. I think it goes a long way to give them some natural habitat to enjoy; even when they are in a temporary tank like a grow out! JMO. I'll get some pics of the new set-up tomorrow.
