Great collection of fish. I'm curious on what you using to filter these ponds too. How long have you been running these ponds?

They have been going for several months now..

1100 gallon filtration pics

2500 gallon filtration pics (This is just temporary while Im building a bigger filtration system for it. You will notice the water isnt as clear in the 2500 as the 1100, however the temp filtration is enough to keep all ammonia and nitrites at 0 )

yeah it's the panaque species like the royals and clown plecos.
they eat wood so you need to keep some driftwood in your tank or they will perish. larger specimens will sctrach acrylic but not take chunks out of it.
your pleco is not 1 of them so no need to worry. if you really want to be sure catch the pleco and look at it's mouth, a panaque that size will have very visible teeth.

I know it doesnt have teeth.. Every morning he comes to the top of the water and hangs upside down and I throw pellets in his mouth. There are no visible teeth in there. I know this for a fact..

Ordering over the internet and long drives to pickup fish in all kinds of different place LOL

In the 2500 gallon, all the amphilophus come from Death Angel on WW. All these guys were either breeders for him or growouts. He had TONS of them and I went down and picked up TONS of bags of fish for him to make room for more fish he had coming in. There was actually 3 55 gallon rubbermaid containers full of bags of fish when I left his house..

They are all either F0 F1 and a few F2s...

Ive entered the pond the last few days (2500 gallon) trying to spread some sand along the bottom. The fish are not scared of me at all. They come right up to me. And the two that are guarding eggs are NASTY. I wont go around them. They try to attack me if I get within 5 feet of them.
