the tank is 55 gal. it should be bigger but right now i am straped for $. hoping to build an acrylic tank to fit my 90gal stand but im going to make it 2 1/2 - 3' tall. not sure on how many gal that will hold but it should be sweet. that front is a lookalike. it is a tretocephalus, not sure on what type. i have had him since he was about 3/4". got him for $6 i beleave. the store i got him from has since gone out of business, they now only do wholesale. i was going to breed the diplidecromus compresicep but the 2 females i had got some bacteria infection and it killed them verry fast, about 24 hours. i was shocked. i now have some baby bushy nose plecose that are cool. also going to try and get some female calvus so i can breed them. i alternate there feeding. i feed spirolina in the morning every 3 days. at night i feed spectrum cichlid formula, and ocasionaly blood worms or brine shrimp.
my father-in-law is curently breeding tropius. morago, and 2 others. cant remember there names
. he just sold his 250 gal acrylic we built because it was 2 big. (like any fish tank can be to big. lol) even though my wife thinks anything over 90gal is to big
