School of Tats (3pcs right now)

[West1]

I am in the process of adding 2 new Tats @ 8.5" with my solo Tat @ 8.25"

I think I went the better route instead on 1 Armatus

They are presently going threw the "drip method" right now. I will post some pics tomorrow if they are not to scared and look unstressed.
Otherwise in a couple days I will post some pics

By the way, I will be adding one more 8-9" Tat in April (as soon as L Aquatics brings him to me)

Thanks for looking

I'm waiting for them to get used to the tank before I post some pics.
The one I had before the 2 I just bought has been swimming like crazy and pushing the new ones around. I guess like this is my Turf???
Since I have a bare bottom tank, the 2 new ones see their reflection and keep trying to bite themselves (the first one I had did the same thing for 2 days) and 1 is starting to swim and not pay as much attention to his reflection. It looks *****ing when all 3 Tats school around the tank for a quick sec. My 1st Tat has been swimming a grip, back and forth (since i bought them from the same place and they were tankmates I hope its just like "West up fool, where have you been at F@cker" rather than aggression).
It looks like I am going to enjoy a SM school of Tats, rather than 1 big Payara. I've never seen my Tat swim so much (and the lights are on...)
Will post some pics tomorrow, even if they are looking at themself

Good looking trio,what size tank are they in? I notice a lot of keepers use bare bottom tanks is there a reason for this other than the look?

a LOT easier to clean. These guys need pristine water, and substrate gives rise to uneaten food and waste which will dirty your water

Well said

Thanks.
I also have a bare bottom for 2 more reasons...

1- I have a lot of current so the substrate would probly pile up in one place (and maybe get sucked into my Canister as I added one more extention on the Intake)

2- I have more plants in my sump. So the light goes threw the bare bottom tank into the sump to let my plants work (eat the amonia etc...)

Oh yeah, It is a 150 (5x2x2)
