SOME NEW PICS!!!! ooohhhweee! ;)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The pair of jewels are gorgeous also. I no those are red jewels, do you know the scientific name for them. I know there are several types of jewels, and I was told that only a certain type shows that amount of red that you have in your two jewels. Do you still have the jewels. Man they are pretty.
 
Well... its a 240g tank. with all the rock i would say, maybe 180. im not too sure. but lets just say that the heaviest rock in there was atleast 80lbs. i wasnt even able to lift it. my homie did it all.

and YES thats a grammode in with my RT's. i also have a GUTTULATUM? or maybe hes a FENE? not sure. a female Trimac (whom was beat down to ugliness. literally, she was pretty, but not no more!!) and a male costa rican midas.

As for the color of my jewels (Hemichromis bimaculatus) They were just reg jewels from a pet store. nothin fancy. All i can say is that i just do a lot of water changes on my tanks. atleast once a week on my 240. and atleast 2 times a week on my smaller ones. i feed all of my fish 2-4 times a day. (depending on the amount and food type) From earthworms, mealworms, frozen peas, dried krill, all types of pellets, crickets... they'll eat pretty much anything. if atleast ONE of them takes it, ALL of them take it. its pretty funny...
 
you have some beautiful fish and great pictures ..i especially love your festaes are such an awesome color.. really bright color;)
 
thanks again for the compliments guys.

my grammode is only about 2 1/2 inches. I accidentally put him in the 240 with all my other fish that were 4x his size. thought he wouldnt be able to hang because THEN he was only about an inch long. but NOPE, he runs the tank pretty much. Always beats down the female Trimac. Its even funnier when he uses one of my big plastic plants as a discuise to try and get to the Festae fry.. its FUNNY!.. i love him. he's a true GANGSTA! ;)
