My crenicicla rio atabapo sp.2.

[Punkfredd]

Sorry,the aguarium is 140gallon,not so easy with us gallon ,british gallon and liters.

How big does this fish get? Because Im told so many times to get only ONE species and that should be a small from Saxatilis family because thesefish need so much space...

And I also have a 140 gallon tank!

I think the ats are growing to be ca.30 +cm,i also think that it is right with only one species in a tank as we have.The two that are the bosses is problaby a pair.
It is also good that they are using some of their energy to guarrel with the Hoplarcus Psittacus,so they are not starting to fight themself.
As i have written before ,i have a lot of hiding places many roots,but saxatilis sp.are wery nice them to.Good luck.

Never done a test of that,but i know that the water from the spring is soft,and as you know i have a lot of roots and also youse much of cattabablades,so
the water is acid.Over the years i have had freeswimming larvae from c.saxatilis,regani and eggs from s.deamon.

FEEDING TIME

 

[jan]

A lot of mess when feeding,the ats are like a lighting ,take a lot of food and then hiding. Feding every other day ,sometimes every third day.As i have said in a post before i must take care when feeding them,are afraid that they will be chooked.Since the summer i have sold the 2 eheim 2080 that was cleaning the water ,bougt a eheim 2260 ,just to get the maintenance of the tank easy with not so many lines in.Found a eheim 2028 in the basement and cleaned it up and changed some parts ,connected it to the tank as well.Changing water 70% every week,very important with so big ciclids.Changing water is the best medicin to have those big ciclids fresh over time i think.
