New home for gigas

[BaTsBR]

ozzy and zach those are awsome names man
did you name them after anybody or were they just random names

I named before I went to Ozzy Osbourne show in São Paulo.
The older giga already got that name but the newer one come after.
It's a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Zack Wilde. maybe foolish, but I really liked that.
Os, and the TSN is called Tony (Iommi - guitar from Black Sabbath).

About their sizes, right now they are fine, and I think I can hold on some more time. Untill move in to other place and construct a larger tank, that for now is just a project (Don't even have the "design" of it).
And sure I"ll let all update.

Hi everyone
After a short time, I'll make some update on my pimas.

Both of them a little bigger, with one of the TSN (a little bigger too).

This is the small one, Zack.

And this is the biggest one, Ozzy. In this photos they don't look so grownup, but they are really growing.
Time to buy some more feeders to them.
BTW, Ozzy is the one that ate two kois last week

How did you come by them?

 

[FireMedic]

Are you having any trouble with the metal hose clamp I see in one of your photos?
It looks like stainless steel.....but it looks like it might have some corrosion on it.
Those Pimas are magnificent!

till now there's no corrosion, maybe its because the photo.

to yanbbrox, I bought them in a LFS, legalized. At least, its a lfs with more than 20 years in the same place, with the same owners. I'll try to take better shots from them

Thanks for the reply, how are the plans going for a permanent home? Your going to need a huge amount of space/tank/pond to grow them on into adults?

How big are they (")

Liz - they really are magnificient creatures, try to take a look at them everyday. check the water parameters, that kind of stuff. And gain a lot of just looking at them.

yanbbrox - the plans of a permanent home is a bigger tank in a new house. At least 5000 liters I think its possible. 'Course they need more space than that, so I'll try to make things right, making possible to update the tank size.
I won't be able to have bigger tanks like johnptc or zoodiver, but I'll try to make my "babies" happy.

and Jakob - the right size I don't know, but I think Ozzy, the bigger one should have about 30cm to 32cm. and Zack (smallest) should be 23cm to 28cm. not quite sure.
