Few Photos of the 125

[rich_one]

WARNING! I totally suck at aquatic photography. You have been duly warned.

Here are a few pics of the 125 so far... as you can, it still needs some work... but's getting there. I need some kind of large center wood or rocky, cave-like thing or something. With fish this size, I am nervous to pile the actual rocks too high.

Nice Oscar you picked up.

Thanks! That guy is more awesome than I thought, even though I saw his photo!

Yeah that oscar is pretty slick. A nice piece of driftwood in there would be the ticket.

I am not sure whether or not your angels would be happy in the tank...

I am not either... it is an experiment.

angels are expendable in my world but any who those ones look familiar.....

So far, so good, man... I even put that JD in there that was beating the crap out of the other JD at DQ's house, and not one fish in that tank so much as give those angels a second look... they totally ignore them! And the angels do not appear remotely intimidated by anyone.

I am literally surprised at this... I'd have never thought this could work! It's still early, but so far, there are absolutely zero signs of aggression or stress.

Go figure!

lmao ask dangernugget about the piranha guppies i gave him

 

[rich_one]

LOL... I will...

*wishes happy thoughts to the male JD* I really hope he does not lose his cool as that looks like a fun active mix of fish.

 

[rich_one]

I think he's going to be fine. I mean, I kinda figure by now he'd be showing something. Dude... he's not even bothering the other male that he had previously beaten up. This mix is working perfectly so far.

Got the catfish to come out last night, but it was late, and I had gotten in from being out with the wife, and was tired... so didn't get any pics... sorry... will try again.

Looks like a great setup, Rich. Those dempseys look great!

 

[rich_one]

Thanks, Tony! I can't wait until my bocourti and my pearsi pair start getting their adult coloration! Should be nice!

[rich_one]

Got a lot more pics... some pretty nice. Finally nailed one of the bumble bee cats! One week later, and just after a water change and feeding tonight... enjoy... hope you all like 'em!

And yes... I know I need to clean my glass... I am a lazy person. So sue me. LOL...

Looking good rich! The cat looks nice!

 

[rich_one]

Thanks, man! Kinda thinking about getting a darker background now that the discus are not in there. Think I'd like to put up a black background... gotta fine one big enough. The sorry *** petsmart by my house just doesn't have the right size... even on the rolls, they don't have the right height.

Somehow, I know you are about to answer me with some awesome solution... I don't know why... LOL...

[mscichlid]

You need some height in that tank to set it off.

 

[minifoot77]

hey those angels are still kickin

 

[rich_one]

mscichlid - Yeah... I know. I am hoping to get a nice big piece of driftwood from maddog in the very near future. Hopefully, that will do the trick!

minifoot - Tell me about it! I am amazed every time I look at the tank. Nobody bothers them even remotely! Heck... if anything, the marble one spends some of its time chasing the koi one! LOL...
