Finally took a couple shots somewhat worthy of showing. In this tank i have
3 monos
3 orinos
3 occelaris
3 temensis
The largest is 8 " with the smallest being around 5" er 6 " im about to build a much larger tank . Currently in a 150 im moving up to a 355 in a couple months and also selling off one of each species in the process

just wondering about those rio meta from rapps .I have two about 3inch one and other about 2.5 starting to spangle alittle when did yours really start coloring up?they look stunning to me your bass i mean.

They started to spangle alot around three inches but i think they are really just starting to show off thier spangles .I see alot of difference in color depending on what im feeding.
All twelve fish are eating live comets, freeze dried and frozen krill ,frozen bloodworms ,frozen silversides the only pellet type food i can get them to take is cichlid sticks and they werent taking them well just sporadically . i notice the highest amount of spangling volume in the orinos when they eat live and krill .
