Amazon Project starts (pics)

- Start date
Added the first big cat today (pseudodoras niger from a fellow MFKer). It's well over 30". Also added over 50 more silver dollar (red hook and common) and a handful of prochs. It's starting to take shape. Over the next few days, we'll be adding another big cat (megaladoras irwini) as well as the rays and more cichlids.
The 9th is coming up faster than I'd like, but it's been a fun ride.

Today I added another big cat (27" Megalodoras irwini) as well as a few dozen 14 inch terrors and some misc small stuff. I tried to get some good underwater shots of them, but won't be able to resize the pics until tomorrow. I'll post them when I get them.
Spent well over an hour in the display tonight adding plants and arranging stuff to get the most variety of habitat possible.

I have a 24" TSN..
You want it? You pay shipping..?
edit: Nevermind.. 50 silver dollars might become food?
Nice work though.. I WISH I had your job!

And a scarey story from this afternoon.
So I'm about to leave for the day. I decide to swing by the tunnel one last time to admire some new decor I've set up. As I make my way into the packed tunnel, I see my school of silver dollar all tight and swimming fast. First thought is "Cool display of a natural behavior". A half a second later, I think "Wait, that is protection from a predator behavior". I look over to see a 24" musky chasing them!!!!!! One had jumped over from our native lake display!!! I was panicing hard core as I watching him mow down my school of dollars!!! I grabbed Nicky and ran to the top. I got into my wetsuit faster than Clark Kent whips into his Superman outfit, grabbed a net and hit the water. Too about four minutes to catch the thing! Glad I saw it when I did. Can you imagine coming in Sunday moring to see a fat musky and no Amazon fish anymore only a week prior to the big opening day!!!
Anyway, everyone enjoys pics. So enjoy these: You can really see how much more armor the Megaladoras irwini has compared to the Pseudodoras niger when you can see the two side by side. A special thanks to fellow MFKer Ivan for selling us the niger cat! It looks great on display (as you can see).
