HEH.....just fed...most of the water was on mePeanut_Power said:second to last picture...the water rollin down the outside...just fed eh? LOL...awesome pictures bro! very impressive! Love the Uro too...very nice! U got mostly temensis in there right? I thought i saw a few larger orinos though...
......and that tank actually only has 5 temensis and approx 8-9 ocellaris....you see the tems due to their boldness- they are always front and center bullying everyone out.I love that tank dieselmac. Quick question for you. Do you have any trouble keeping the tank clean with the river rock? I'm thinking about using river rock for my 200 but am worried about difficulty keeping it clean.
Also, just curious as to where you gt your peacock bass. I'd like to pick up some for my 200.

DM...nice!! My orinos are going crazy with boldness! Seriously, I can get them to eat outa my fingers...and one of them has enough guts to try and eat my finger...kinda funny..well, for now anyway....not big enough yet to get it in his mouth....but he tries. They are pretty bold as far as pbass go...or so i've heard....
LOL...my orincensis from the same batch are the same way...and yes they are bold for as young as they are......will have to get some pics up of my tems taking sardines from my mouth...pretty funny.....never have anyone around to snap a pic that isnt laughing their @zz offPeanut_Power said:
LOL!! nice....put it on a timer......then time it so that it goes off when you have it hit ur mouth....be careful though, i knew a guy that used to feed his oscars like that till it split his lip and he had to go get stiches...LOL. Definately get some pictures up of ur orinos! They are GREAT! Love them!! Mine keep going from a little 'dirty' with brown splotches every now and then to bright yellow...moody little buggas....
