My New Natives

Duuuuude, amazing looking tank but I WANT THE STORM TROOPER! Didn't know were storm trooper fan too! Did we just become best friends? lol Once my finances heal from buying all these tanks and equipment virtually overnight, I plan to invest in LED's for the tanks. I'd love to bring my CL's color out better that's if I can get them to come out of hiding themselves. They are sooooo skiddish. Worst I've ever seen to but I'm that gets better with time as they get more relaxed with their new surroundings and learn to trust me more. If I even so much as walk close to their tank, they flip the fk out. Sucks paying so much for something you don't get to enjoy.

my CL's hid all the time for about 2 months. Now..I can't clean the tank without them swimming through my hand or pecking at my arm.

Nice. I was trying hard to go native, but California makes it tough. Got a couple medium bluegill and a smallmouth bass in local river, but ther are such huge a-holes to eachother. No where was good enough to get shelter. They just beat on eachother endlessly. Ended up going tropical with a bit more of a community vibe. Love big lumber though. View attachment 1148560

that tank would make a BALLA south American set up, and no I don't mean cichlids haha. a bunch of schooling fish...tetras or whichever.
