hey what are the dimesions on that tank and get some t5's so we can really see your fishes color

I just posted a couple other threads with full tank shots... maybe you can see the color in my fish a little better in those shots?? The tank is 7'x2'x2.5', thanks.

If you can't see that amazing color you need to get your eyes checked

Lol, thank you bro.

Thank you, but I might be getting rid of him really soon... I really love him, but I don't think I can keep him... long story. The Grammode will also be moved too... again. This tank looks very different now... I only have the Festae, Argentea, Xilo, Grammode, Red Isletas and the Midas, who by the way is waaaay bigger then in these pics, lol. They are all between 10 - 11" except the Grammode, who is 7". I'm currently looking into adding a few others from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas. Again, thanks.

Every time I see your avatar I fall in love with your Bocourti... I have never seen one with so much color!!! I wish I still had mine, but I sold him over the summer. Thanks anyway, lol.

Thank you... def 265g. Wish I could get a 600g!!! Decor look different too as I took all the plants out and the sand is now natural colored too... only river rocks and drift wood in there. Thanks for looking.

I'm giving the Grammode his own 55g again (third and final time). He is very aggressive, however it has taken me 11 months to get him to the 7" mark and I want to keep him. They are such slow growers!!! The Festae I'm giving to a guy who has a large tank with a nice sized female for him. He always messes with my Granulosus catfish and about three months ago the spike on his dorsal fin stabbed the Festae in the left eye and over the past three months it has gone blind. Ever sinc ehis eye went blind he has been getting really aggressive... maybe frusterated?? I'm moving my 6.5" male Festae and 4.5" female Festae to the big tank to make room for the Grammode in the 55g. I have sold some of the others in the original pics on this thread and also lost a few when I changed out my sand, whihc really sucked. Anyway, I have a few new fish coming in tomorrow and will post some newer pics of the tank in a week or two. Thank you.
