My attempt at a Rio Xingu biotope... (G. argyrostictus)

Great start! I'd just keep an eye on them when you add the Ret's, argyo's tend to be pretty feisty for a Geo.

What are the dimensions of an 80 long? I've tried looking it up and didn't get a single hit.

Thanks Chris! I was actually debating on selling the Retro's. The two dominant argy's are already feisty now. Eartheater respectively that is.
We'll see how it goes. I might just put them in and keep a close eye.

I got the tank from a friend that found it at Goodwill a few years back. I think its custom. The dimensions are 72"x13"wx18"h.

Nicely done! I agree with Justin that wood would add a little more structure.

So yeah, by all means, check out his wood

Someone beat me to the wood joke, I like the setup. Very nice 80 wide. The sand turned out better than I had imagine. The plant is awesome. In time I'll emulate your setup for the Altifrons.

Tank looks fantastic bro! Love the pothos on tanks like this. I have some wood you may want for it. Hit me up

Thanks for the wood, J! How long do you think before it sinks?

Thanks, Sonny! I have an extra bag of sand that I'm not going to use if you want it. How are the altrifrons liking their new home?

You're welcome! Give it 3-4 days more days. If you want it to go faster rubber band a rock to it to force it to sink. It will get water logged faster that way.

I'm a little under filter and is looking for a external pump to hook up to my eheim. Otherwise The Altifrons are doing great, eating like pigs. I'm good with the sand, I have white sand that I am using for the time being.
