Thanks man! The kadango and pheno are really nice especially come maturity but kadangos tend to be really aggressive based on my exp. I have a 4.5in one before but decided to separate him as he's too much of a bully though I'm still hoping that my new one would turn to be less temperamental. With regards to eyebiters, I also had one before but died due to bloat. Thanks, I do hope also that mine to be a really good boy towards his tankmates, but as of now the alpha male is showing signs of the attitude of yours. :D
 
increadable puts my tank to shame. All male tank dose it reduce aggresion?

Thanks sir! So far, I'm having no troubles at all with regards to aggression. Imho, I guess having 1 male for each variant/specie aside from overstocking is the key in achieving a harmonious and peaceful all-male tank. But I've had experiences also of the removal of a particular aggressive fish even though how beautiful he was just to maintain peace and balance in the tank. :)
 
Just thought of posting some yawn shots.. :D

Yeah, venustus and eb's tend to be really aggressive towards their tankmates especially during courting. You may want to separate them to a breeding tank so as to avoid further casualties. :)
 
i love the look of this tank, great collection of fish. Even though its a 6' tank, i think its starting to get a bit crowded, just my opinion.
