I just got a Uaru he is cool he is with my sev and Geo he has been in my tank for 2 hours and has been muching on the plants for the last hour and a half.

I put the Vals in there specifically for that purpose. Hoping to have mine by next Saturday.

Ok. Wood is in, rocks are in, pleco is in, went ahead and put a few giant danios in, oh yeah tank is cycled.
Now 1 week until the sale and I get my Uaru!

you should consider getting a red tiger mota you will probably only be able to keep one fish or a breeding pair but they are awesome http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138225&page=2

the red tiger mota is a nice fish but right now i would rather have a small community(does that sound right we are on MFK) but anyway i may try a single specimen or a pair of something later but thanks for the suggestion.

have already talked my wife into at least a 180 in the near future so maybe i will try it then

when you get the 180 just get more uaru

when you get the 180 just get more uaru

depending on how many uaru they have at the sale this weekend i may drop
the sevs from my list and go ahead and get 4 uaru.

at least a 180 i said we are planning on adding on a room to the back of our house and i showed her a 500 gal tank from glasscages this morning and she said if i make the romm big enough i could get it......woohoo

Went to the sale at my LFS today to get 3 Uaru. They had exactly 3
2 are approx 2.5" and the other is approx 3.5"
barley pop you were right they are AWESOME!!!! much more beautiful in person

also picked up 3 Geo brasiliensis and a huge Java Fern mat and a couple Anubias.

they have been in tank for about 8 hours and so far they have yet to mess with the plants( fingers crossed)
will post pics tomorrow

 

[barley pop]

you got to get me some pics !!!!!!!!!!!

congrats on the pick up !!!!! i knew you would love them !!!

and watch those brasiliensis they tend to be pretty Agro when they get some size on them. they are probbaly one of the most ageo geos you can get.

 

[cichlids4me]

i will keep an eye on them and if need be move them later but so far everything is ok

thanks for all your help in choosing these wonderful pets!!
