Freshwater "reef" tank

[Aesop]

My inspiration was to mimic a reef set-up. These cichlids will all be moving into a 60 gallon slate set-up when I free it up. The current fish in the 60 will be moving to a 200 gallon in about a week (hopefully). I'll post up-to-date vids of these guys after they're moved in with the slate.

I'm thinking about replacing these guys with barbs when I move them out.

ya those are nice. i love the set up, you got some nice rocks , i could use some rocks like that did you just get them at a fish store or where?

 

[Aesop]

Yea, or you can go to most masonries and pick up lava rocks for cheap, and break them with a hammer. Just remember to soak them for a long ass time.

 

[arowana man]

have you tried ''lace rock''. it reminds me of a reef.

ahh...i see you're a greg simkins "craola" art fan, good choice. and if you're refering to the Def Jux aesop, good taste in music as well.

the catfish in the video seems like he is training for a marathon.

Very beautiful fish. What kind of a catfish is that? lol He's everywhere in that video!

Looks like a columbian (H. seemanni).

Yea, I'm not too sure. I bought it as a Silvertip Catfish.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

And unfortunetly, Aesop refers to the real Aesop, not a band.
