FTV of the 240g

[Razzo]

Hey Razzo any video of the entire tank? I agree with jico2 that it would be nice to see them swimming the entire 240, so slap on a wide lens.

Here's the FTV of the 240g. I dug up some lights for the entire tank and slapped on the wide angle lens :lol: This group has become skittish since being moved to the 240 and any changes in the fish room (like changing the lights on the tank) causes them to be extra cautious too. I lured them out with the white coffee mug. The big boys [Nyatzi (Alpha) & Tsididi (Beta) were hanging out in the back - Nyatzi back left). Nyatzi did make a brief appearance at the 2:38 mark of this video.

For any newer folks: I combined both of my wild caught Cyphotilapia gibberosa (Zaire Blue Mikula) groups into my 240-gallon acrylic tank recently. There are 16 (4m/12f) of them plus one F1 juvie. I had taken the 240 out of service in March to sand/buff/polish the tank to remove scratches. I had also drilled the tank to add some plumbing to connect my FX5.

In any event, here's the video I shot today. It is available in 1080p HD if desired.

Thanks,
Russ

Love it, I REALLY want that rock! Can't find anything like that around central ohio (that I've seen).

Hey Stempy,

A local landscape supply house ordered a bin of it for a landscape project that got cancelled and they were "stuck" with it. I discovered it and picked through the bin pretty good on several trips. I had several local fish friends that I turned onto it too and, LOL, we all ended up buying most of that bin. I'm trying to talk the owner into ordering another bin. Not sure if he will.
