Here are a few random shots cause I was bored and wanted to show off some of my fish as well as this huge craw I found! What do you all think?

The Juruense is looking good now and his streamers have gone from not existing at all to about 7" in just a couple weeks! My ray is doing well also. He is eating frozen shrimp now, though not as eagerly as I want him too just yet. I want to add him in the cat fish but I am afraid that the 15" catfish is too much for my 7" ray. Thoughts? Can anyone ID my cichla? I assume its a mono.

Oops how did my M4 get in the mix?!

Other then my $37 motoro the Juruense has to be the best deal I have ever gotten on a fish. I paid well less for him at 15" then Ive seen 5" fish sale for on the net!

I guess the pbass is about 7" now. Him and the cat are at the end of a standard 125 for reference. I really like the colors on the cichla. He sports lots of blue.

Nice Ray and Piranha!! Mind me asking, why do you not put rocks/gravel on the bottom of the tanks? The Fish Look Great!!

I dont do it for two reasons. One IMO the fish look better as they seem to shine and sparkle from the bares glass bottom and two it is 832498654987459078 times easier to clean!

I would have to quess that it is a real breeze to clean than gravel/rocks. I might have to try that in one of my tanks, I keep seeing more and more pictures of MFK tanks with "Bare-Glass" bottoms.

Its really not that bad to go bare! Add a solid black background and maybe a couple pieces of drift wood that sink on their own and I swear your fish will look great! Fish like piranhas iwth all their glittery scales will look especially nice.

I mean I can appreciate a nicely aquascaped tank, but for me all I really want to see and other people to see and appreciate are my fish....not my tank.
