That tank should last you quite a while then. Bet you can't wait till those beauties get big.
Yeah i'm pretty stoked man! This is my second attempt at raising Orinos. I bought 3 about a year ago from Jeff not realizing how much slower they grow compared to my Monos. My Monos eventually outgrew em and ended up taking em out. ( didn't have a tank to move into at the time). So now i'm playing it safe until they get some size on em before i add anymore fish. But I gotta say these guys are alot more aggro than the Monos i've raised. Constantly charging each other up!
 
Thanks guys, Thought i'd post some more recent pics. These guys are really starting to turn green! Also picked up a new sp. Venezuala pike.

I love the pattern changing at this size. And boy do they look tiny in their new home. STand looks great as well. Nice work!
 
Very nice O's! Are they rio metas? what are you feeding?

Yeah, it's great watching these guys develop. They seem to have hit a spurt since moving them to the 300.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they are RM, got em from Jeff in early December. They have been on pellets and Tilapia since i got em. Haven't given them live yet, so they are not very fat. They just don't gobble down pellets like they would live.
 
man your setup makes mine look sad and small. the giraffe is doing great so far
