UPDATE:
Decided to stop into the Local Fish store today during our 3 hour wait at my cities DMV (boy was it packed). They had just got in a order. To my surprise in their 125 gallon large tank I saw 2 geophagus a very large one at about 5-6'' and a medium sized red head geophagus. You guys know, I am going to have geos in my display. So I went and asked price. Large geophagus 60 dollars red head 40.
What's even better is, my brother Jimmy bought them and a small clown knife for my early birthday gift which is on August 15th.
What kind of geo is the big guy
1st pic Big geo
2nd pic this is the smaller geo which I think is a redhead.
Am I right? What kind is the big guy?

Great pick up Alex! Are you going to give them some sand to sift?

Yes, hopefully.

Can we get a full tank shot? What size, filtration etc?. Water seems kind of murky. It seems like a lot of fish to be in what looks like a 55 gallon.


Where are you putting the fish that where suppose to be delivered on Wednesday? The barracuda, payara and pleco?

 

[Dixon81]

You should make the trip towards Boston to Uncle Neds Fish Factory. There is also a new place in Worcester called Luckys Aquarium.

Good Morning!Sure, I will true to get a full tank shot.Yes, this particular tank is a 55 gallon. However, it is not a permanent tank, I have my large 6' tank coming in on Saturday which is why I went ahead and ordered the fish.
I have decided against getting the payara and barracuda until I got the 6' aquarium so that they would have enough space to swim and stuff. I don't think they would have done well in the 55 for a few days. I still got the royal pleco as well as 2 more widebar silverdollars. For filters, I have 2 HOB both Aqueon. I am doing a water change atleast 20 percent every day until the new tank arrives.

Yea, I am def planning on going to Ned's. Lucky's Aquarium, I have seen on Facebook, looks like he has some cool stuff.

UPDATE:
All my fish from Aquascape have arrived very well and in great condition. The royal pleco came in big and in fact is a watermelon royal! Will have pics once they settle in.

Will do. I am going to take some pictures and share them with you. Pretty eager to see what the reaction is going to be.
