90 gallon updated vid n pics

[Headrush]

Back on 7 September 2007 I added a juvie FM male and a GT male to my 90. The tank already had a large male FM and a large female JD. Ended up losing the older male FM to bloat, probably due to aggression issues. he didn't take to the new tankmates very well as you can see in the vid(hey I took a chance).

...So I thought I'd share some vids and pics to show their progress. FM has doubled in size, and the GT is now pushing 6" and challenging the JD for supremacy.

Only ongoing issue at the moment is the FM picking on my Bushynose Pleco. May have to remove the FM if it gets too bad and just go with the JD and GT. Anyway, didn't put this in the photo lounge because it wouldn't get much attention there. Figured you guys/gals would like to check em out.

Hope you like

The first 4 are from the night I got them in September. The rest are from last weekend. Will show vids next post

Other Two videos are from Last weekend. Hope the GT continues his Growth rate, He's bulking up good n solid...last video shows it well. Going to get him into eating some earthworms (Red Worms) this week to help too.

Nice tank. I like the background, is it 3D or is it just a picture?

Thanks, its a photo bacjground I got from Drs Foster & Smith web site. Check em out. Got the Anubias there too. They even help the plant shipment because of the cold weather we were having here, just to keep the plants from being damaged ...Good folks there IME, but their fish prices are sky high

Love that Texas in your avatar too!Always wanted one, or two or...

Thank you everybody. Just thought I'd share as I like to see other people's updates too.

My GT refuses to eat Krill, frozen or dry, but gobbles up pellet food (Hikari Cichlid Gold). Any suggestions for food to bring out more of his orange/red color?

Headrush, I like the texas in my avatar too, but it's not mine. I just googled Herichthys cyanoguttatus. What is the url to their website?

WOW sorry it took me soooo long. Been really busy

This should help you out. Didn't check to see if my Background was still available but I bet it is.

Good luck and thanks for the props!
