Getting My Groove Back...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yup definitely on his way. I’m noticing all my polys get washed out when the Finnex 24/7 is bright AF during midday sun, so I’m going to mess around with it. I’ll snap some new pics tonight when I get home from work.

In typical PBB fashion, this guy is mean as hell. My other guys have washed out since his arrival. Hopefully they learn to cope because he isn’t going anywhere

Well when your ready to let your laps go let me know lol.

No congicus huh ?
 
Very nice PBB love the big square head. I have one same is mean as **** it literally bites the tank mates for no reason but I can't let it go because it has a amazing head shape as well. Look forwards to more pics.
 
Safe to say I’m obsessed with this new PBB. Almost every lower jaw I’ve ever had has been relatively complacent chilling on the bottom, but this guy is constantly gliding across the tank. Granted, he’s probably hunting his tank mates but I don’t care.

Looking really good, love the shot, do you have a picture of the group and a picture of the nigerian lap and pbb side by side?

Nope still no congicus. I have my holy grail so anything else is just extra. I’ll admit Troy1015 Troy1015 Koliba makes me miss my old one. That green body is insane so don’t be surprised if you see one of those before congicus.

That said, I’m gonna slow way down with new additions for a while. My schedule is crazy and this tank is in dire need of a filtration upgrade. I’ve got an FX6 running the tank and 2x 50-75% water changes a week. I need to tear it down to drill for a sump so that’s a nightmare looming overhead in the meantime haha.

How big is that bushynose ? Just noticed it ?

I’ve had that thing forever. He’s prob 4”. He used to be an incredible algae eater but now he just gets fat off of Massivore and tilapia and ignores his janitorial duties.

It’s kind of like dating insanely attractive women: they’re amazing but definitely come with their fair share of headaches. PBB are no different haha.

I’ll definitely try to get some for you tonight. The variation among the laps is insane. 2 have the classic green lap stripes and one has the dookie brown thing going on. Crazy because you have to imagine they came from the same catch location from the same place.

Thats intresting, cant wait to see it.
 
PBB darkening up a little bit. I’ve been power feeding last few days to bulk him up. I figure with a fish this size, it’ll probably be a month or two before he thickens up for good.

The laps and mini “pbb” weren’t cooperating tonight. I think they’re just waiting for dinner.

Pbb head looks to be longer than nigerian lap.

Yeah that’s gonna be a nightmare. Fish need to be stored for a couple hours (probably in a Rubbermaid trough), tank needs to be emptied, drilled, and plumbed, and while the tank is down, I want to paint the wall behind the tank. FML
