the geophagus are more colourful now and bigger, with the full fin extensions now: sorry these pics are taken during feeding time:

thanks! the one thing with my geos is that they have taken a long time to fully develop colour and finnage wise. its been a little over two years since I got them and they are just now really starting to look amazing. slowly but surely they grow bigger and get a little better looking each month.

What happened to your yellow fin barb

 

[12 Volt Man]

^
long while since I posted on this but the giant yellow fin barb I had I sold because I moved back in 2008.

now, we have moved again (to a house so for good lol), so I had to sell all the big fish out of my 150g.

at our new house, I have set it up again with all new fish:

lemon fin barbs (missed keeping these guys)
tinfoil barbs
redhook silver dollars
and geophagus redhead tapajos

all babies.

will be posting periodic growth updates as these monsters grow

right now, the 150g is my only tank. but planning to seup a another tank probably next year. a 90 or 110g tall.
