Bad Morning in the Fishroom!

Damn,that is a bad situation.

This tank is taking way too long to get delivered and set up. Last night Luther tried to eat one of the jurupari. The one that get's picked on by the larger jurupari. I had to build a litlle shelter out of driftwood at 8:00 last night. This geo is not in good shape. And all this really pissed Luther off. He was totally ballistic. And the oscars were also diving in for the kill when they saw what was going on. Will be a toatl rush job on cycling the new tank.

Something about Kelberi. They can be pretty aggressive.

I am going to use media (filter pad, maybe sponge, bio balls) and maybe some substrate, plants from the existing tank. I am going to pump in water from the existing tank. I will also seed it with some off the shelf BB. I am planning on adding ammonia (Dr. Tims).

Sorry to see this dude, I to thought the orino’s were the bad boys.

I was greeted with my prized Rio Nigro orino dried up on the floor when I went down to check my tanks this morning.
View attachment 1374714I had gotten it from Wes a while ago and it was the biggest peacock bass in my group.

Sorry to hear man. I know it doesn't make you feel any better, but of the thousands of posts I remember the last time you lost a
jumper. But you're still in the game ;-)
