I figured I would post up a couple videos of my tanks and fish. These are grow out tanks really, I am building a big tank in the very near future that will end up housing
specific chosen fish, then the rest will be sold most likely.

Any way, here they are.




The 75 gallon grow out

1-Tiger Oscar
2-Midas (Pair)
2-Female Convicts
1-Male Salvini
1-Pleco

The Oscar fish spends the majority of the day in his corner "fighting" his reflection lol. Usually when the Midas gets in his face
he usually ends up chasing him all over the tank, I am kind of surprised he didn't in the video. The Salvini is always chasing the Convicts
when ever he sees them, but usually ends with Dozer the male Midas stopping it (like in the video).






The 55 Gallon grow out

1-Carpintis Vontehillo
5-Godamanni
3-Festae

Tank (the Carpintis) has always been pretty shy. I dont know why but he has just never fully came out of his shell. The Godmanni were barely over an inch when I got them
and already the largest one is almost as big as Tank! I have not come up with a name for it yet though. Same with the larger Festae they were pretty tiny when I got them a few weeks ago
but the large one has doubled in size since I got them from Jason.
 
Ya I am 100% possitive. I have watched both cons lay eggs. One will lay eggs and they will both defend them, then when they go bad they will eat them, then the other female lays eggs and they both protect till they go bad. They have done it only God knows how many times not too. My wife and I call them our lesbian fish lol.

The Salvini is a little sheet, he actually killed the female that was with him when I first got them. I went to bed one knight, all was well. I woke up the next morning to find her beaten badly and floating on her side. I moved her to my other tank but she ended up dying about an hour later. He has never showed interest in the two cons which has surprised me too. He always chases them away as soon as he sees them. When I first introduced them I kind of expected him to try to pair with one of them but instead he has always been nasty to them. If it wasn't for the bigger Male Midas and the Oscar I know he would be the dominate fish, but the other two are a good bit bigger and he is scared of them.
 
Also, If Dozer looks kinda chubby in the tummy its because he is a little pig. I had fed them just before I took the video and he tried to out eat every body else so he always looks a little tubby for an hour or two after he eats.
