75 going on 180

[twentyleagues]

I also like you ctenopoma. I never was a fan of them, but I've never seen a video of them. Just the defined colors and spots on yours look really good. I'm considering getting one now. I'll have to look them up and do some research on them before getting one, as I know nothing about them. Yours looks very nice in the video you posted earlier, and has definitely changed my mind about those guys.

Thank you for the kind words!
Ctenopoma are great fish, really pretty easy to take care of they will eat just about anything you feed them. Mine is probably pretty close to being full size now. He grew really fast to about 4" then slowed down, hes about 3 years old now. I lucked out with the vibrancy of color and pattern on him I think. Maybe diet and clean water I don't know but ive seen alot that are really dull. My tanks not perfect but I love it and everyone in it. They are all great fish.
Welcome to the poly forum too! Cant wait to see your tank and polys.

Two coats of paint may need two more.

What kinda paint did you use? Looks amazing.

 

[twentyleagues]

Krylon 2 in 1 black satin spray.

180 is a smidge higher but once I shim it it will probably fix that. Stand is built to the same height spec.
