Oh now I like these guys trifish. Glad to see your in the running. I especially like that you are raising yours with natural gravel.
 
Do any of you guys use peat media in your filtration.

Since adding driftwood to my tank and removing all carbon , I use peat in my filter additionally.

I was curious about your thoughts of using peat.

The peat pellets I'm using are from Eheim.
 
Trifish those look stunning!

Wes that guy looks good....i think we are right behind that.


I have one xingu at about 5in that is being grown out w/ the 4 freebie orino's I also got from Laz. I am feeding hikari bio gold sinking. He is in a 130g that is divided into 2.....him and the O's probably have 80g of it. Filtered by 3 penguin 350 hob filters and one smaller one. Temp is at 86-87. Water changes 1-2x a week about 40-60%.
 
Got mine in a 125gal with geos and clown loaches....Temp about 80, 50% water change every 2weeks,feeding feeders gut loaded, tries to sift gravel like the geos,2 ac110's and a fluval 405....pushing the 6inch range now.
 
:popcorn:Popcorn ready. Looking forward to seeing these Xingu's grow.
 
End of month update.
