very nice! you must go threw alot of food :ROFL:

Thanks, and yes. I go through about 1-2 cups (8-16oz) of a mix of hikari dry foods a day. Which in turn, means I'm doing a lot of big water changes. On a big feeding day, I go through 2 full cups of food and then the big TSN eats about a 1/2 lb of shrimp. I need to start back on feeding tilapia and stuff again to give them a little bit of bulk in comparison to the super concentrated calorie count of the pellets. I think there is a little to much waste as a result, but they need the bulk to feel settled and full.
 
do you swim with the fish? it'd be cool to make them used to your presence in the tank so that when you do move them you can just kinda hop in and almost play with them.

I haven't, but I totally want to. I would be interested to see how the RTCxTSN and the giraffe cat will react. They are very nosey. The ID sharks are gonna have a heart attack though.
 
very very nice ! i love the shovel nose and the hybrids. i saw the thread on setting it up its all very impressive !!
u should get some pics of the rest of your collection up.
u got any vids of them just swinning around ? would love to see some aswell as some feeding vids.

Thanks! Working on getting a feeding video by tonight. The hybrid however probably needs to get dewormed as he's not eating real well. So, I'm not sure how much prazipro I'm gonna go through, but if one has it, they probably all have it. Tanks are in transition so on getting pics of everything, it will be a bit difficult. I've had a few people ask for other pics as well, so I will get what I can.
 
a feeding vid would be awesome.
also i dont think the hybrid has worms, RTCxTSNs fast for long periods of time.
 
MAN THATS BEAUTIFUL

Turns out it wasn't worms... It was gill flukes from the new rescue! I threw in some prazipro and a couple of them were freaking out rubbing against the sand as the flukes were dying and falling off. These fish aren't used to a thing being wrong, so its not a surprise that a few gill flukes would cause him to be uncomfortable and stop eating.

I did a very light feeding tonight already as the tank is still a bit cloudy from the giant cleaning it got today, and I really wanted to see how the hybrid was doing. He was a vacuum cleaner sucking everything up. Glad to see that was an easy fix. I'll have to do a video tomorrow when its more clear.
