My New 210G South American Community

[Dan F]

I took a few photos of my new Aqueon 210, I upgraded from a 135 a couple months ago. I've added quite a few fish since the move, I may even need to move some fish as everyone grows out.

I have dial-up internet (hopefully not for too much longer), so I have to upload photos a few at a time.

First, My G. abalios. I have three, they are around 5" and starting to color up nicely.

Gymnogeophagus australis, Biotodoma cupido, and G. Meridionalis.

I didn't know about the cool-down period with the Gymnogeophagus when I bought them (impulse buy and the LFS people didn't mention it) so I will probably be setting up a tank for them eventually.

 

[Dan F]

Geophagus steindachneri, Tahuantinsuyoa macantzatza, and Mesonauta festivum (wild, Peru).

A couple of the tank.

Very nice! Nice fish and cool driftwood!

A couple more full tank shots. I wish I could get some clearer shots, but I keep spending all my money on fish tanks and can't afford to upgrade my camera...

Very nice setup. I really like the t. macantzatza, and abalios. Imo you should eventually move the gymnos out, and get a nice pair of sevs, and it would be perfect. Although it looks great as is

Thanks! It is grape wood from an old vineyard, it is really cool in that it is riddled with caves.

Thanks, I really enjoy the T. macantzatza, as well. It seems like they get more colorful every day.

I do plan on moving out he two odd Gymnos. I am debating moving the balzani. From what I've read they are one of the more heat tolerant Gymnos as their range extends quite far north.
