I started with Africans from my LFS because of all of their color variety's. I learned allot in the first year including breeding them using tumblers. My girlfriend and I had a child and I had to focus most of my attention on them when he was a newborn. Fast forward two years and I am now starting a new tank. I set up a new 75 grow out with a Fluval 406 canister. I have added a Silver Arowana 8", Jack Dempsey 5", Clown Knife 5" and a Festae 4". I plan on adding a Red Texas and possibly a gar in the future. The aggression seems low at this point. I feed them 3 times a day, a combination of crickets, meal worms, earthworms and small feeder fish but I change it up every time. I have been trying pellet food but they don't seem to like it yet. I vacuum the waste out every other day and water changes once a week. They seem to be doing very well. I will be acquiring a large tank by the end of the year to move my new guys too. I'm always on the lookout for the person that wants to dump a great large tank lol. I'm hoping to move into a 180 long or a nice 220. Thanks for tanking a peek at my first post!
