Vieja melanura update

[FishKing5]

Just thought I'd share an update on one of my melanuras from the 'Laguna Yaxha, Guatemala' race.

The first picture is from October 16 and the second picture is from yesterday. Already showing some good growth and expressed coloring. Definitely the most dominant of the group. The fish in this growout tank get well taken care of with daily to bi daily 75 to 80 percent water changes with about 4 feedings a day of southern delight powerfeed and southern delight veggie krill. I'll post again in about a month for an update on all the fish in this growout.

You hoping for a pair, or just the best individual

 

[FishKing5]

Leaning towards Hoping for a pair to put in their own 220 gallon or else just do an all male tank and see how that goes

 

[dan518]

For a 220 you could go for a harem,,, they look good

 

[FishKing5]

What do you mean for a harem? And thanks!

 

[dan518]

One male two or three females, sometimes works sometimes doesn't, also depends abit on the foot print of your tank

Ok that would be something I'd definitely be up for. The 220 would be the 72″ x 24″ x 30″ with driftwood and rocks.
