My frontosa

Here are some pics i took today of my burundi and F1 mpimbwe juvies. I have them in a 265 gallon tank and they are maturing nicely and showing good color.

This little guy tells me size doesn't matter LOL (he's picking on a fish 3 times his size!)

Nice mpimbwe juvie showing good color :

The group at the favorite hang out spot. I use the goldfish for clean up, its a cleaning machine (If you try this besure to quarenteen and treat for internal and external parasites as well as ick even if fish appear healthy)!!

Such intense blue, great looking fronts. Those mpimbwe look like they'll grow to be really nice.

Wow thanks everybody. I was suprised at how nice the burundi have turned out being that they came from petco. About the goldfish: is your goldfish the normal kind or is one of these fancy types like mine ? I wonder if that has something to do with it, they dont swim very fast so they dont get as much food, maybe they are just hungry all the time ?? I also keep the temp between 79 and 80 so the metabolism might be higher on my fish making them more hungry. I have not had to vacume my gravel since i put them in the tank ! They are constantly sifting it, grazing on the rocks and fake plants too. Thats why i called them cleaning machines. I think i am gonna vacume the gravel this weekend to see how much hidden debris is in the gravel but the surface is always spotless even though i have not vacumed it in about six weeks. My sand bed is thin and that helps too. debris cant get buried as easily.

LOL, No he is completely normal. He was flaring up at the big burundi and attempting to chase him off. He had put on his "scary face " to intimidate LOL.
