Almost missed todays update. Busy on the room, fixing the center brace on the 180gal, moved a few fish and some other things.

Todays is on my brokopondos. One took pellets right away. That one has changed and grown exponentially. It is in the 75gal with the main group now. Has fit in well and is one of the first to put as many pellets in its mouth as it can fit. The second is a stubborn one. It won't take anything but bloodworms. Growth is slow, color hasnt changed much at all. The azuls on pellets that were edible when I got the broko are now passing the smaller broko. I still have one runty azul that won't take pellets either. Smaller broko is 3.5" the larger one is 4.5".

Had a busy rest of the week. Ill toss up the next update pics tonight. Also lost a Kel. It got beat up by the dorado. Would have pulled through but as I was catching another fish it got spooked under a rock and got stuck. Found it last night.

Here is the sp update for today. My azuls. I onky have 6 in the pics of my 7 total azuls. I got them at 1". One isnt taking pellets yet and is only just eating fillets. That one is about 3". The rest are 4-4.5". The 6 in the pics pound anything that hits the surface in a frenzy. Dont mind the dirty glass. Been busy still with building in the basement.

On the plus side I got clearence to build a second garage so I can put all my fish in that building. Once I get to that point it will be sweet! Just got to build build build.

Lost another Kel the other day. I think the 75gal was getting too crowded and aggression picked up because of it. So I moved my 3 kels amd my broko to a 40breeder. Just to be safe. Then after a few days (tonight) I moved my azul and the other broko with the broko and kels. Also flip flopped my tig and jurunese. Tig eats fillets and some pellets with the bass. The juru is still settling in so it is thin and eating little.

Also ordered 4 litters of k3 today and a 660gph pump to upgrade the sump on the 75gal. Since my 180gal is unsafe for them and a 150gal plan I had fell through they need to be there for a bit longer. Might get a diff 150 or 125 before too long. Or I guess I could build a 450 plywood to hold out with.. So much to figure out...lol...

Rambling over I guess here is some in hand pics of a couple azul during the move plus my stud broko to get you through the ramblings...
