my whole collection pic heavy

The only fish not slaming anything are the xingu. They are the largest at 6-7". In the same system with the xingu are the tems, kels, and intermedia.

Thanks for the link it was a good read.

Carlos, you have some experience with brokos.....do you feel they are more sensitive than others? Especially water condition.

Honesty don't know Ken I do my water changes every week clean out filters and that's pretty much it. But I think over all water conditions are key to colors and obviously health. You and Hulon have said it best with evolving your filtration as your fish grow.

My temp is 80f.

Crank the heat up 89/90 they will be ravenous beasties

I like to keep my juvies at 86-87. Bump that temp!

That will be one killer collection in a couple years. Also that is one nice Jardini, perhaps the nicest I've seen.

I did bump it up to 84. Then now I set it to 88f. They did hit the couple feeders I had left hard when I dropped them in. I think the tems smashing everything I drop in is helping.

Ill see how it goes with this temp bump across systems. The only one that cant be bumped up is the azul. That tank is a preset heater to 78f. Once large enough they will be bumped up also

Thanks on the jar

Gonna move some fish around today. Got to get the jar alone. Only one sowardtail left now. The warning/distraction fish did there job.

Here is a vid. They are still coming back from being sick but they are almost there.

After the move. Now the tems, kels, intermedia, and xingu are together.
