how do you keep plants with those monsters? My 18" endli destroys everything when he's moody 
lap looks amazing!

Thanks guys! I bought the sen at about 2" on my 18th birthday, and I turn 27 this summer! His name is Fyodor. His counterpart, Tolstoy, jumped out of his temporary tank while I was setting up their 180g. 
Was really upset about that.
There are others in the tank, they just werent interested in being photographed when I had the phone out.
The 300g is going to be arriving tonight. Once I get all of the plumbing finished up, I might pick up a PBB and ansorgii to cap out the stock.
Ill do an update of my grow out polys later on, when I get off work

Their roots are well established, as they were grown out in a c02 system. My substrate is pretty deep, and the roots are buried. Occasionally a plant gets pulled up, or a leaf is torn off of a plant, but nothing serious so far. The 300g set up is going to be low(er) light, so I'm not sure what will happen then.
Some shots of one of the grow out tanks. That top pic is of a captive bred endli. His color is amazing in person: very bright caramel. Definitely the best looking of all of my Poly's. He eats like a champion and is growing at around 2" a month. Its not unusual for him to eat the entire food pile before the others know it is there.
These aren't the best pictures ever, but that tank is hard to photograph because it is low/indirect light only. 2 of the delhezi are moving into a gorgeous show tank at my lfs this week. I'm going to miss the little buggers, but they will be in good hands.
I tried to photograph the koliba in his 10g, but its too dark. I don't cut the light on in his set up for any reason to reduce stress. The koliba was shipped to the wrong house, and sat around for a while before the problem became apparent and he made his way to me. He was then outcompeted at feeding time, and lost interest in eating altogether. I put him in a 10g quarantine, and after a month long hunger strike he began to accept food again. He is now healthy, hardy, and his appetite is strong.

Sneak peak of the 300g, future polypterus/gar sanctuary in my driveway right now
The pic at the very bottom is a few months old. That's a Del at 3". Love that picture. Little dork is hyper-cyoot haha
