1) webcam will be moved asap.....whenever that is
2) article on moving the big boy coming soon
3) old tank currently water only, sharing its biofilter with the new one, ultimately to be emptied cleaned recoated dark blue and then the big decision fresh or salt......

Your new tank already look s full of 'Giga! I finally got access to your webcam, just in time to see the whole window full of your arapaima! Are you going to move the webcam to get a better viewing position? And what's left in the "old" tank?

Hey John, got a non Sam question. You had a number of Red Devils in the tank, how did they behave in a tank of your size? In small tanks, normally they are quite aggressive and in tank of -100g (?) it is normally suggested one RD per tank. In your case, you must had a school of them and obviously they are at the bottom in term of size ... are you using them as dithers? Do they school together? Did they go after other cichlids in the tank or they just guard their own territories?

Thanks
