Lucas Tank

[Lucas Fontenele]

It's done.

Just posting the pics of the tank and its filter.

There are some pics of my kelberis also. Got only 2, but soon geting more and hope pinima too.

Mecanic Filter, maybe adding a filter sock when I get money.


Biologic media.


The water return.


The whole stuff.



Now the fish. Sorry for the low quality, Im getting underwater pics as soon as I get a camera able to.

They look great, much spangling. How big are they, did you catch them and what is that bio?

Great and imaginative set up...

That bio media looks like a construction material, porous, that is also used under the soil in flower pots. We call it Leca, right, Lucas?

Wow! If those kelberis are really caught from ceara then I'm jealous! Nice job!

Very cool Lucas!
I envy your ability to be able to keep cichla outside.
Hope to see a couple more kelberi in there.
Thanks for sharing.

I catch then in november with a castnet, they spent lots of time to adapt, it wasnt easy some couldnt do it, but now theyre eating pellets nicely. Hope next time with pellet trained friend they adapt easier.

I didnt measure then, but If I would guess they have about 10 cm.. idk..
The greater one already has spangling in his anal fin. =)

Yes its leca, but I bough it like ''argila expandida'' (expanded clay), in gardening store.

Wow! If those kelberis are really caught from ceara then I'm jealous! Nice job!

So, you can be jealous, theyre WC from here.

Thanks guys.

Really nice...Have you ever thought of digging an in ground pond?

 

[Lucas Fontenele]

Yeah, I did, but my parents dont want it. And I also think that Cichla look better in the aquarium.
