Ok some updates, after cleaning last weekend:
These 40 breeders are for cloning crayfish(top) and the bottom has a duboisi killer in isolation after racking up a serious body count.
the top 125's are waiting for the sump to go up we will cycle the sump on them.
here it has a rack for 8 filter socks to handle particulate:
Tanks waiting for stands:
Tank by tank:
Our tretocephalus, wow such a difficult fish to sort out. We've had a couple successful spawns but had no idea until pulling them for the move over here, we didn't save a single baby. Not sure who is female in the bunch or how many studs we have. Currently there are a bunch of red empress growing out with them.
Our hybrid tank, while their are some good fish in there, one nice hap, a kirbensis, and a male red empress growing out the rest of the stock are mixed peacocks, defunct OB peacocks or bad males that never developed decent color as well as deformed females we got from craigs list. They spawn like crazy but after the first 100 fry we stopped pulling them because they aren't of notable value and will only become feeders anyway. These fish where meant to be dithers in our 265 that is leaking:
This tank is a mish mash of awesome. 6 frontosa burundi that are developing great color and with their new diet great shape. There is one orino peacock bass, 1 ornate bichir, 1 sengal bichir, 2 delhezi bichir, a placidiochromis, borleyi, 3 monos, and 1 severum. Most of these guys were supposed to be in the 265 already. We hope to breed the fronts as they look phenominal but they are slow to mature for sure with over a year of growth already under their belt and another before sexual maturity.
our only tank with substrate, its also the remanants of my old planted tank from school. Cichlids won't eat these plants, not even the demasoni that are in there now nore the duboisi that we had in there prior. These are grow outs from the spawns of red empress and duboisi we had at my parents.
Here is the stack of fry tanks, over 300 fry kicking around in between those different tanks. Due to goofy lighting there aren't any quality glory shots of the fry:
This is a strange selection of fish that you might recognize from being predominantly in the 110 at my parents. Though we hope to spawn many of these none are producing at the moment.
This is our most productive tank, it houses the yellow benga, and fire red uganda we have 100 fry of each. Sadly neither male felt like posing for this photo.
There is also a male and female super blue red empress in this tank growing out, a compressicep, and 2 synodontis.
last but not least... the tank with our melanochromis exasperatus pair, and several smaller fish from the 110 at my parents. A new member is a juvie jack Dempsey and a sterile pair of convicts.
Next time some individual photos of our different fish but I need to get a new camera to really make the best of that with this lighting. All the tank lights create reflections that make it difficult.
