What a great way to start out Spring! Special thanks again to Massive Aggression AKA Nate!

All 10 of them arrived in perfect condition! A++++ work for packaging and service and what more is there to say.

They are all in a 55 gallon dedicated only to them besides a discus. The 55 is planted and the surface is 1/3 full with floating plants for security. I tried feeding them freeze dried bloodworms and almost half of them are eating it now. Anyways enough said an on with the pictures! I will get a full tank shot later.....

nice, how big are they? and your upgrading or have a bigger tank ready right?

Hehe, was waiting until someone asked! They are all around 2.5"-3.5"ish. Some still have a little of their yolk, but that is nothing to worry as I am already a professional!

I wanted to grow them out until they are maybe 8" or so in the 55 gallon, before moving them into my 180. Reason so is because I don't want them to die in the 180's current and the rays that are in there. Once in the 180, I plan to get them all to around 16"-18". (Koji is the inspiration to this, with his group of silvers).

Lastly I will hand pick the ones I want to keep in the 180 gallon, and some for my older brother who will be returning back from Military. I only plan on keeping around 6 (for my brother and me). The rest I will sell to other local MFKers.

when there 18" upgrade too 300gallon,koji inspires me to do asian comm when they are legal rofl

 

[hmoobvwj]

I was thinking about either getting a 300 gallon+ pond OR a tank with the footprints of 8x3x2.
I will try and update these guys at least once if not more times a month.

 

[Hao]

keep us updated on these little guys hopefully no DE

 

[hmoobvwj]

Yeah, hopefully they turn out like Koji's with no DE at all!
Here are more pictures of them and their play area! Along with Mr. Discus.
