Ok so after fighting with my camera and computer for the longest time I finally got some new pics of my RBPs to share. They are out growing the tank they are in now about as fast as I thought they would but its ok b/c I'm currently setting up a second 125 so I can split the stock of this one and keep all of them. But with my work cutting my OT its taking me alot longer to buy the new setup then I thought. but I'm close to having it done all I need now is 50lb more sand and filters and a stand. should be done within the next month I hope. I would have to guess that all my Ps are in the ballpark of 5"+ right now but i'm not sure I haven't put a tape measure up to the tank yet.

If you look at the RBP on the left of the first pic you can see his head has a srape on it. I am not sure if it's from the driftwood or the rock in the tank. I am leaning towards the drift wood and once the new tank is setup it will NOT have driftwood just plants. And if the Ps in the old tank continue to have problems with that piece I think it will get taken out or move in a different position so they can't hurt there self. I don't like seeing them scraped up.

P.S. sorry it took so long for the update JoeDizzleMPLS lol

lookin good man... how many do you have in there now?
 
oh, and i would blame the rock or another natt before i would blame the driftwood, i'd say leave the driftwood in there
 
still got all 13 no deaths I keep them feed up real good dry food during the week and live on the weekends
 
could be both wood and rock...make sure the wood don't have any sharp edged. nice looking natt.
 
Thats why I thought it was the wood b/c its the branchy style and there are plenty of things to run into. If I continue to see them get beat up the "sharp " piece will come out
