Today was the great for me. Today caused me some headthinkers and some stress on how to act in the best possible way. Today was the day that i would pick up my new monster panaque.
The plan was to trade most of my smaller fish for one big fat one. So after school i got to work:
I lowered the water and took all the wood out. With that, i sucked away a lot of sand and under it a lot of poo and debris. Then i had to catch the plecs. I wanted to get all my plecs out except for the blue eyes, my 2 ornate polyps, a 20 cm royal and my first plec: a gibby.
The result was this (the fish is already in there but had to hurry):
So off to the LFS to make the exchange!
And now im very happy to announce that i have a new pet. It must be the biggest royal ive ever seen with a stunning 43 cm in lenght and 13 cm in width. Its mouth has a diameter of 7 cm!!
I think its a female as it doesnt have a lot of odontones, especially on the fins. There are some spikes growing near the gills and they are about an inch long atm.
Here are some pics of the monster:
In the box
So, what do you think?
Im about to clean the sand and put some wood in the tank to make them all feel happy again.
