Jag and Barred Midas Setups

[fobrinkle]

Update- Jag died about a month ago. He had a seizure and couldn't stay upright. Had to put him down. Water parameters were fine. Don't know what happened.
Barred Midas- the big male killed all three of the smaller fish. He is a real bruiser. Attacks anything that goes in or near the tank. here are some pics. Look at the red eyes-he's pure evil.

that sucks! How many barred midas do you have left? I have my pair divided in a 55gallon still but they won't stay together although the female goes through the divider (rarely).

He killed all three of the smaller fish. When I went down stairs I found two dead and the other badly beaten. I moved it to a hospital tank medicated with pimafix and salt. Didn't make it though.

I am a natural gravel kinda guy but this gravel came with the tank. It looks good with the black background too.
