These guys are pretty cool. Are they generally pretty aggressive like the other Pundamillia?

By the way jhutch how are yours doing?

 

[Bre]

NIce videos...I guess they are not shy. Your zebras look really nice too!!!

Mine are still small and have not really colored up but I am having heat issues as well. I believe their tank is around 68 degrees so they are growing slowly.

 

[Bre]

Why so low?

Issues with the electric service here. Had to revamp the way I am doing this. I ordered a vent free heater to heat the basement instead of heaters in the sumps. Thing is they are in one of my breeder tanks that I don't run off the system. Lack of tank space. Since the individual heaters in the breeder tanks overloaded the system and keep tripping breakers I had to put heaters in the most important tanks and hope for the best with the others until the vent free heater gets here. I will be relying on ambient room temp to heat the tanks instead. That will eliminate the need for any heaters.

Also that is the best way to do a lot of tanks in a setup like yours. What I am doing in my fishroom, just got the electric ran for it.
