My 540 -- Pics -- Mostly Vieja

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
More vids brosky !
Ok. Tomorrow I'm gonna get extreme close ups of the fish if Things work out right at work. Except for my Convict--he won't go anywhere near the other fish when they bunch up at the front for food. He's too smart for that, knows he'll get mauled.
 

Another video for ya Jaws
 
I got my male Fenestratus back! A long while ago, he was in a 75 with my Zonatus. War broke out and one had to go--so the Fenestratus went to a friends tank. Well, he just brought him back today. So straight in the big tank with him.

He's gotta be 10 inches, pretty much just a plain blue fish. No red head, he's about a year old. I wonder if he'll get a red head later? Are Fene's kinda late bloomers?
 
Nice Breidohri.... I had two brothers that ended up having a fight with eachother. The surviving brother then got wasted by my male Black Belt not too long after.
 
I could watch this tank all day. Glad you got ur boy back. Dude all your fish look great but that dominant argentea is a show stopper
 
August update. I lost a Breidohri to Duck Lips. I had a Fenestratus for a few weeks, he didn't work out. My Zonatus got pretty wild so I took him out and put him in my 125 for a week or so. He's back in the 540, and he's acting like a model citizen now. I'm waiting on a Trimac and Carpintis from Rapps, hopefully tomorrow. I added in some Zonatus grow-outs from my 125, and a Bocourti grow-out. The smaller Synspilum is the only one in the 540 that's really growing fast. Other fish are growing, but no so's I really notice.

Looking good! Some real nice bruisers in that tank.
 
Thanks, I appreciate that. 3-4 of the fish in this video were cured by your epsom salt treatment for hex. I'm gonna test my luck one final time in this tank tomorrow. I have a Trimac and 2 Carpintis coming in tomorrow. :) Once I get those settled in, I can just live with the fish I have for a good long time. See what grows fastest.
