Those eyes are deff one of my top features as Well. Gonna get another Kel or 2 tonight. Lol. He is out of azuls or I would likely get 3 more to give me an even 10. Really thinking about getting a couple azuls from rapps wilds.
I also moved the tems to the xingu tank. Got to get them xingu eating. It is driving me nuts.

3x mono
3x intermedia
2x tem
2x xingu
7x azuls
5x Kel
3x brokopondo
3x mono
3x intermedia
2x tem
2x xingu
Idk what kind they are. They are listed as kels and I have been gettingna good price on them so I have been picking them up. Lol... Like my azuls, no idea what kind or where they came from but at $11 I cant pass them up...haha
Also I added a 20 gal sump to my 75gal with the xingu, tiger sd, flagtail and tems. I am going to link it to the planted 40br next to it that has my intermedia and kels. So the flow will go sump-75gal-40gal(via overflow) then 40gal back to sump via overflow. Ill post some pics when I am done. I just put the sump and pump on the 75 gal to start it off. Gotta wait for the cement to dry on the diy overflow to link the 2.

Nice, it will be cool to see how these brokos all develop. I love spangles! I had a wild azul that got crazy spangled before.
I broke and got some feeders. The xingu not eating was too much for me. They didn't even slam the feeders. I am adding them like I have done in the past. Making them see me drop one in at a time. That way they will eventually smash what ever I drop in.
Had to put the spare feeders in the fancy goldfish tank temporarily. Probably gonna have to explaine to the kids about the food fish not being permanent friends to the fancys...lol

Lol kids and feeder fish explanation is a hard conversation...... But daddy why" said oldest. "well honey because this is what they eat in the wild and they haven't learned how to eat pellets yet" said dad. "but I like these fish" said youngest daughter. "I want to keep them" they both said. "I don't want you to feed them to that fish anymore" said oldest. "It's not nice daddy" said youngest. "Well let me see what I can do" dad said.......... So I resorted to hiding a 10 gallon fish in my stand under the 265 and kept the door closed only pulled feeders out when my daughters were in bed or upstairs ninja style. The thing is they are 9 and 7 now it easier to talk to them about the hobby and they love it, Rewind 4 years ago not so much
Mine are 11, 9, 10 months, and on the way so it is easier at this point. Plus the tanks are in the big scary basement...lol.. My wife dont go there much. That is how I have added 25 peacock bass, 4 tiger sd, 2 flagtail, an aro, 2 dats, 3 fishtanks, 5 filters and a sump with her only knowing about the aro...lol... Shipping got sketchy ill tell you what...haha
Dont mind the stirred up waters or ghetto tops. Got to order in some plate glass to make custom tops yet. On my list. Just finished the set up and tests of the system. It all works great. I only have 250gph running through it now as that was all I had on hand. I will end up with something close to 600gph when I get the pump I want. Also I am remodling my basement. Where these tanks are is going to be the pond space once I have the other half of the basement finished. These are quick pics as I am low on sleep...12 hr workdays plus plumbing makes a long day. I also tossed a pic of my 180gal in wait for the bass as they grow out of the 75gal.
