Hey guys i havnt posted on here for a bit now to update my grow outs so i decided to make a new thread about it. Currently i have a couple of hydor 3200gph circ pumps, 1x hydor 2400 circ pump and a cobalt 1400 for circulation with 400gal worth of air pumps hooked up to the upper 2 circ pumps giving my tank the white water effect.
I have been trying all kinds of fish together with my 2 main fish, my gatf and my tigrinus catfish. Some have worked and some havnt. Everything in my tank is eating hikari Jumbo Carnistix or Hikari Massivore pellets. Heres a list of my current stock with their sizes.
1x Gatf - got him at 3.5" in the end of march and now is 8.5" and fat
1x Tigrinus Catfish - Got him about june at 12" and now is 14"+
1x Yellowtail Barracuda - got him about 2 weeks ago and finally broke him onto pellets yesterday. hes 8"
1x Ripsaw Catfish - got him in march at 5" and now is 8"+
1x Flagtail Prochilodus - got him in june at 5" now is 7"
1x Banded Archerfish - yes i know hes brackish... but hes doing just fine in the fresh water. got him in august and is about 5"
5x Geophagus Altifrons - got the group in august ranging in size from 3"-5"
1x Satanoperca Daemon - got him with the other geos and bout 4"
1x Satanoperca Jurupari - got him with the other geos and about 5"
2x Lemonfin Barbs - got them about march at 2" and are now about 4"
I have had no aggression issues between the cuda and gatf if you guys are wondering. When i introduced the cuda, the gatf started lunging at him and ramming him but i think this was to show dominance in the tank. now they swim side by side 75% of the time. also The tigrinus has still yet to eat anything on me. i use to have a 1.5" tinfoil barb in there just as a warning fish to make sure nothing was going to happen. i figured if someone got hungry he would be the first to go. he grew out to 2.5" and i gave it away.
heres the pics!
