Well, that's it! I would love to hear your opinions :)
 
Very nice looking tank! Love the scape, but theres a lot of big fish in there, do you have any aggression problems. What's you filteration like?
 
I have a pot filter with about 370 gallons/hour capacity. And I also weekly change about 25 gallons. That works just fine :)

There are no problems with agression. Sometimes 2 fish argue about who gets a hideout, but it always stays with bluffing. I haven't got any fry yet, so we'll have to see how it goes then. If there are problems, the Loisellei will probably go back to the store. But that's not necessary yet :p

Love your tank! That is great you aren't having any promlems w/ the aggression. I would have a hard time giving up that loisellei pair, and hope you don't give them up. They are amazing.
 
Tank looks great, I really like the aquascaping!

One thing I would recommend though is that you up your weekly water changes a bit to maybe 50% or so, unless for some odd reason you can keep your nitrates down with the way you've been doing it. What are your readings btw?
