Officially back in the game

[Renegade Aquatics]

For those who don't know I got out of the hobby about a year ago, due to real life things. However I am officially back. I got a 40b that I set up a few months ago, but finally got fish for it last Friday. 5 Pimelodus pictus

sorry pics aren't the greatest my camera is from 2006

Awesome! I love how they are so active and are constantly swimming. Makes me miss my old group of 9.

yeah even though these guys are still settling in a bit they still swim about their little driftwood home
I'm gonna get some floating plants and more driftwood to get them out a bit more as I only have two hides for them at the moment

 

[ehh]

Those pictus cats are pretty cool. I love their long whiskers.

When i worked at the lfs I hated when we'd order them because thier fins would always get caught in the nets. I've been pricked by more than I care to count.

yeah I used a plastic strainer to net these guys out. When I had my 4 lines I got stung a few times.
I love the way they go absolutely bonkers for bloodworms

Oddly enough, those are actually the exact fish I had before I got out
plus I think those fish are a little big for a 40b
