Sorry for all crappy pics but I can't do any better at the moment
Final update for today.
Increased the temp to 30 celcius/86 Fahrenheit.
Left them alone basically all evening, though the kids had a sneak peak.
And just as of now I thawed a single mussel and cut it up. Damn they pounced! And it was awesome to watch!
I put in a single aro stick to see if the arowana was hungry as well. He took it but did spit almost immediately.
The female ray is a little bit pink on the belly but hopefully that's from shipping and will go away in the next few days. The aro tried his first jump as well but 10 mm acrylic + an additional 10 mm acrylic on top of that stopped him right in his tracks.
Damn I'm excited which I guess shows ??

Ok fishes in, now it's time to Co tinue with the build.
I picked up the last box of backgrounds from AquaDecor, the one that got shipped back to Serbia, and will "dry fit" them in the tank tonight.
Now when I have glued my first PVC fittings as well I feel more confident in doing the rest of the plumbing ?

Dry mounted the background in the large tank. I'll try to silicone it later this week.

They are doing really well. Eating like pigs and I'm trying to dial in how much to feed them. As of now I feed about 4 mussels and 4 regular sized Shrimps per day. A few times they have shown signs of being full and stopped eating at this amount of food. I will start to up this when I'm confident about the filter and water quality and start to pellet train them.
I love the sight of the little pancakes when they attack the food ?
