See liz...if you build it, they will come..
Great aro comm guys.
Yep, forgot to mention the being of my aro setup.
Bigger jar was the first aro, the rescued one that I got back in 11/2006...so that makes him about 6 months, well after 3 months of having the 1st jar I picked up a silver that was 5" at the time now he's about 10-11". A month later of getting the silver I picked up the 2nd jar waited a month for him to grow out a bit and put him with the other 2 aros.
He got beat up pretty bad by the 2nd day and I pulled him out and placed him back in the 55g tank for 3 weeks to heal up. I put him back into the 125 and he got chased around a bit but after a week of that everything was calm. That was until 2 months ago that I picked up a GT that at first was gentle but over that time she got aggressive and would fight only with the jars, not the silver.
Needless to say in 3/2007 I picked up 3 more jars, and the 3rd jar in the picture about 5" was placed in 5 days ago.
1st day everything was okay.
2nd day got the crap beat out of him. I was going to take him out and put him back into the 55g but I since moved the 2nd new jar into it to grow out a bit.
3rd new jar is in a 20gL for now to grow out some more.
Well after the 3rd day the 1st new jar in the big tank wasn't being harrassed anymore. He's swimming around and eating with the occassional chase from the other 2 jars.
It's funny tho, none of the jars bother the silver aro or vice versa. I'm waiting for the 2nd and 3rd new jar to grow out some more. Strange that these 2 didn't grow as fast as the 1st new jar. I feed them all the same amount of food..(gut loaded meal worms and occassioanl superworm).
Once these two grow to out some I'm going to put them into the big tank and see from there. Oh yeah, I removed the GT and placed here in a 40g BR tank.
Also waiting for my two mono PBass to grow some more and they'll be in that same tank(aros) too.
Yeah..yeah..I can hear it now.."OMG that tank is overstocked ...blah..blah...blah..."
I have a plan to set up a 210 or possibly 300g tank within a few months..so relax you town criers.
Plus I have some new tenants on the way in.
I am going to drive, starting thursday, for 5000 km's to get me a Xback 20+inches!!
