300 gal tank and friends

I havent posted any pics for a while, so....

Was out in the fish room taking some pics with the phone and decided to share some of them with you all. The Red Devil is actually in the 240, and the Hon. Jag pair are in the 135 below the 240. Everyone else is in the 300.


Enjoy:

Isnt it amazing the quality of pictures phones can take now? That kruassi is looking nice and of course we can never get enough hoga. Sent you a pm. You definitely need to post more often. Ive seen Bigfoot more lately than threads on your fish.

Thanks fishman. I should go through my tanks and take a few. (hundred plus)

I like seeing the photos too. Some nice shots there.

those pictures are great! I love pic. #5, #10, and #14. Great fish!

OK, here are some more.

Thanks Betty and Lloyd.

OMG that male beani is a stud. How are you keeping him? anything special? What fry do you have available at the moment??

I second that fishman; beani= stud..... can't wait for you to have some red islatus and festae available!

That is actually an 8" female Beani. I have to wait till it warms up a bit before my male gets caught and sent to me. Not doing anything special at this time. Feed her once/day, and do what I can to keep her water clean. I have a 25gal wet/dry on the tank, moving about 800gph. Installing a UV light soon. Here is a tank shot

The only fry that I have are Zonatus, Cuban, and Red Isletas, soon ready are my Peruvian Festae. The Isletas are going to Gage. I am growing out some Guttalatus, Heterospils, Melanurus, Coatzacoalcos, and some F1 RD's.

Looking good!

Poor pearsei looks lonely.... so is mine They need more friends. Actually I was surprised for how mellow they are with every other fish in the tank the three little ones I had for a while could not stand each other. I remember vw also having issues with one of his being a top dog and beating on his brothers.

DMD, what happened to the 3 pearsei you had in the 56? I thought you just got them, but i dont see them listed anymore

I can answer this one. DMD is a bit frustrated.

The fish did not show up in a very good condition, and they quickly became ill, and had to be put down. Because I was the connection between D and the supplier, I felt responsible. I contacted the supplier and expressed our anger and our disappointment at the product that was delivered. The supplier was very upset that they were in that condition and has promised to make it right.

So, as soon as I get another order from him, he will include 3 personally hand picked beauties to make up for his error.

I love seeing pics of a big tank, I wish I could have one!

Please do not feel responsible for the issue, it can happen. I have a beautiful Pearsei right now from you that came from the same supplier. I know he will make it right, Ive seen what he has done for you... the beani is just one such example.

Awesome as usual Madness! That Kraussi and the SA tank are amazing. How fast did that Kraussi Grow for you? Curious as the 4 midgets I have are a bit on the slow side.

Or did you mean like their "True Colors"?

I figured it would be you that would figure it out. Lol

Yes their true colors.

Color? Wasn't everything in black and white back then?

The 80's were all about color. But you kids just would not understand with your Bieber fever.

I do miss the 'totally awesome' fish stores that existed then before the big box pet stores moved in.

Took a few more pictures of my non Cichlids, and a couple of the Cichs too.
