SA only 125g is up and running

[HiImSean]

i've been moving the past week since school got out. yesterday i spent most of the day setting up the tank. today i put most of the stock in it. i first went to a LFS to trade in my G. brasiliensis and got a chocolate cichlid and a free banjo catfish. the choc. is about 5" and the cat is about 1". i acclimated them then went off to my old place to get my other fish. i brought over 5 h. psittacus, ranging from 1.5"-3", s. jurupari, 5", and fei feng, 4". i am going to be narrowing down the psittacus to the best looking one. im prolly going to do a rapps order and get a severum of some sort and 2 more jurupari. i may have to break down and put my indo dat in the tank since he's stuck with a mating pair of severums

here's a teaser of the tank from last night and my 55g. ill have more pics up after i get some food in me tonight. theres also an xp3 tucked under the stand

6x2x2 is 180G.

that sounds like a great stocklist, esp. due to the Hoplarchus

Looks great Sean.



6x2x2 is 180G.

he has a miniature black hole in it though, which sucked up the extra volume.

Screw the fish, make sure you get a shot of the fx5!

LOL jk. Can't wait to see the chocolate and the true parrots.

6x2x2 is standard 180 gallon tank. Either you need to re-measure or re-calculate.

the tank is a standard 125g, 72"x18"x23". so far everyone is doing great in the tank. the choco is chasing the jurupari when it comes close to his driftwood. the parrots are starting to pick on each other but nothing major. everyone is a little shy of the camera. the lighting isnt as bright as i thought it would be, 2 t5 bulbs. i think the egg crate top is having something to do with that. i plan on glass tops sometime after christmas. i took pics but im way too tired after breaking down and setting up two tank today so pics will come tomorrow morning.
