A Few Shots of My Reds

[JoeDizzleMPLS]

Here's a few shots of my red breasted tank, just got a new camera so I'm still trying to figure it out. All comments appreciated.

wow Joe, those are truly awesome shots! Beautiful fish you got there. Really makes me miss the little school of reds I had a few years back. Damn I gotta get my new tank up and running asap!

Nice looking fish and tank.
How big are they and the tank? Also, what are you using for lighting? Your plants look real nice.

thanks, i've had them all with no losses since the end of october and they were dime sized when i got them, they're all right around the 5" mark now. this is probably one of the healthiest groups i've ever had. they're just growing out in a 75 gal right now with 3x40w fluorescents, two 6,700k and one 10,000k.

That's my exact set up except for the lighting (only 2 40 w bulbs). I got mine around the end of October and they're almost 5" and they're in a 75.

yeah, i really like the 75 for growing out reds, i usually start them in a 29 for a few weeks and then toss them into the 75 until i think they're ready for one of the big tanks. i had to take a break from keeping the big tanks when i moved into this apartment, but this will be my first batch that will be going into my fish room once i move into the new house in a couple months.
