Well the tank has been fully cycled for a couple weeks now. I'm still waiting on the LFS to get some nice piranhas in.
I will post some pics of the updated tank. I took all the rock out and went with real and fake drift wood and roots. I think it looks better this way.

Went out today and got 6 rbps. 
I got them home and drip them for 2 hours. Then put them in the tank with the lights off for the rest of the day so they could calm down.
They are nice and fat but the fins are a little nipped up but I think some water changes and a good diet will help that out.
I got home and seen all but one was out swimming around. Hopefully the other one is just a little shy.
I will post some pic tomorrow.

So how long after you got your rb's home did it take for them to start eating?
Right now I'm trying to feed them Silversides Krill and Bloodworms.
How big of water change should I do? I;m going to be feeding 2 times a day. SO like 15g oncee a week? The tanks is a 125.

my pygos have always eaten within 15 minutes of putting them in the tank, serras usually take a few hours, sometimes a whole day. how big are your new natts?aqua-man;1823736; said:
for water changes, if they are small, i would only do about a 20% change once a week, as they get bigger, just keep an eye on your nitrate levels and change as much as you need to keep them within a safe range, you'll probably end up slowly increasing to a 50% change once a week
with 6 5 inch natts, i'd probably do a 30% change once a week, but it's always a good idea to track the amount that your nitrate levels rise between water changes and adjust your water change amount to fit
Its been 9 months scene I got my natts. So I thought I would post a update.
I took some pics but they didn't turn out the best they don't really like to get there picture taken lol.
I had 6 of them but I lost one in my resent move.
Anyway here are the pics:
Let me know what you think.
