:headbang2 :D :headbang2 :D

I got a new GT Friday night, to replace the juvie I lost a couple months ago. Looks like it might be a male, not sure tho, its around 4" or so and looks to have pretty good coloration. Also grabbed a female salvini around 2" and a Firemouth around 2 1/2".

My gf named the sal "lilly," and I named the FM "Righty" cause he has an orange streak above his right eye and nothing to match on the other side. Hoping the GT's male, I think I'll name him "Duce" as he's the 2nd GT i've owned. I'm sooo excited. Here are a bunch of pics.

Let me know your thoughts

nice work:D

also that GT looks male to me :D

maybe a few more shots?
 
here's another shot. Thats all I have from the photo's I took yesterday.

Added the fake plant too, the viney loking one. Always hated fake plants but actually think I like the looks of this one.

Thanks for the props!! I'm very hapy with this set-up

Headrush the tank looks great! I would add a little green behind the main piece of DW. That would make the tank PERFECT! The GT is definately a keeper! Great pickup. I say it's a male. The FM looks male as well and so does the Salvini. If the salvini has a black dot on the Dorsal than it's a female. Anyways all of them look GREAT and healthy Good luck to you! I WANT UPDATES LOL! How is the JD and other FM takin to this?
 
wonderful i love that set up keep us updated as they grow :):)
 
Absolutely incredible setup and fish, those guys are going to do great in there. What a great combination of fish for that setup. Are you going to have some catfish and plecos in there as well or do you already have some bottom dwellers? Awesome setup!
 
now thats what i call aquascaping. How much you charge an hour? i have a few tanks that could use a touch up.

here's a shot of the pleco's. Think I might only keep the biggest one and then find a gold nugget or something smaller and colorful. Thats down the road a bit tho. Also put my 2 YOYO loaches in there. Nobody can catch them and they're loving all the room.


The JD's not a problem but the big male FM is being a ba$tard, chases the GT around a lot, but is starting to chill out. these 3 fish make the cichlid count 5, and it looks to be working very well as far as spreading agression. nobody gets really chased too bad, and seeme to be getting better each day. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Last photo is my favorite. that FM just plain hates the pleco...never ends but is very entertaining :grinno:
