my cichla "herd"

Guys id look for tanks w/ a 30"+ width.
I had a 240g and couldnt stand it and sold it really quick.
The 24" width doesnt compare. If your goin 8' long go for atleast 30" width.
I like my 225g waaaay more than i did my 240g. 225g is 72x30x24...the extra width is way better IMO.

ANd nice new pick ups! I love all the kels. But boy are they delicate.

You are right just gotta keep hunting for a decent priced one!

well..... the bigger of my two pinima got abit to close to an angry goonch and the results were um ......
don't poke an angry toothy catfish with a stick lol I managed to net it out before he got eaten to examine the damage and the skull was completely shattered!!! its a shame because it was such a good looking pinima and was looking forward seeing it as an adult but here are some updated pics of the others and the orino is really starting to pop and I actually took some decent pictures this time

bummer did you remove the goonch?

 

[cgibby]

well since i've got a bunch of new additions I figured there should probably be an update haha I now have
3 rio araguia kelberi
2 sao fran kelberi
2 rio tapajos pinima
2 rio putamayo orino
and I finally found a broko
my 70g cube is now way overstocked so I'm thinking of beefing up the filtration to an fx5 would that be a bit overkill?
