Well it’s good to hear that both are alive still bud.

gonna give the smaller grow outs one last chance with the main group - added some more cover...

consolidating -

 

[dr exum]

any thoughts on this?

butterfly fish sadly are gone - think 2 eating and one jumped ? - was probably bad idea to add fish to a potentially hazardous situation on a sunday before the work week...

these are two different types of laps obviously ya? gotta learn to sex them....

and theres handi capped endli living his best handicap life in this 20l....

i can monitor his eating and have not found him upside down yet ??

group doing well, will move to 150g 4’x2’x30” here in 90 days or so -

the fat head is a chunk -

got a couple polys -

wild endli - eating a little tilapia cube like a champ!

and a lil 3” del -

Nice group and setup! One of those laps might be ansorgii x endli hybrid. But faded can't tell you 100%.

Just out of curiosity how is the endli handicapped

got in here today for a deep gravel vac - too much decor housing nitrates....

fish very unhappy as i took out all decor.... kinda want to remove stuff so i can see fish -

the few smaller fish appreciate the cover though as the Afer picks at any non poly fish -

the ornate cat is a log! cannot get good pic ?

afer is 12” easy -

fat head moke is biggest and a thick log....

i may be missing a poli - the palmas , green nile bichir?, and poli look all similar-

new wild endli seems to be fitting in -

count :
palmas-
poly poly -
lap - 2
ornate -
green bichir -
endli -
weeksi -
fat head -
afer -
ornate bag catfish-
leaf - 2
jewel cichlid -

good job keeping on keeping everything "local". Since you aren't afraid of big fish (afer knife!), have you thought about a Distichodus of some sort? You have a lot of bottow dellers in there.
