The New Bichir Tank

[Burbotman]

Finally, Finally the new tank came in. The old 120g has been on the upgrade list for some time.

With limited space I ordered a custom 58"X26"WX24"H.
The swap went well with the fish being moved with 24"X24" jumbo ziploc bags.
While I wish I could have went larger, this should do. Only issue was the fluval brackets fitting over the Euro bracing.

Next up is upgrading one of the 405's to an FX or Eheim

Here is the stock list
20"Ornate
17"Endi
17"Lap
16"Weeksi
15"Endi
12"Congicus
12"Delhezi
10" Sen
9"JD
12"Bullhead
9"Snakehead
5"Bristle Plec

Thanks all, I will get some fish shots soon.

Thinking of the work today, I do not envy those doing a real monster tank move.

Labor of love.

Did you raise them since babies? What you feeding them?

The ornate, both endi's, sen and del have been with me since they were less than 3", The lap,Congicu and Weeksii I got at around 9"

Diet is basic bichir food, beef heart, tilapia, prawns, massivore and earth worms.

I likely overfeed but then don't seem to mind.

Thanks for the comments.
