Wtf is wrong with this forum. A nice bass tank like this and not one person leaving a nice comment. Nice tank. I can't wait to see the upcoming progress.

Pinima and orino are gonna fight. In my opinion these two species tend to get territorial and sometimes will kill to make a point.

Even if i grow them in separate tanks?

Sweet tank! I need somthing like that for my group!. Also I agree with fishncash. Pinima and Orino are asholes. pinima will grow faster then orinos in my opinion. Mine did and now terrorizes the smaller bass. I'd say grow them together. You will see aggression once it get around 8-10"

Nice tank!!!!! Who did you purchase from? What type of filtration are you planning on running? Im excited to see the progress, Orino's are punks but beautiful bass. The Broko's will not disappoint absolutely my favorite I have purchased 5 of these bass all came from Wes.
