Amazon Project starts (pics)

[bmxer4ever]

Havn't been on this thread for a while......lots of new pics. Excellent!
It's great that the size of the exhibit really allows a real ecosystem to exist there. I can't imagine all those different fish, and different sized fish, getting along normally, especially ALL those fry! There's so many. The Midas must take good care of them. Awesome.
Do you have any pics of the fry you've already pulled?
I notice you were talking about the difficulty of showing the true size of the adult pacu. There's a shot from the top of the tank - looks like from two months ago, pima in the middle (I think!) - and the pacu are at the left of shot and they look HUGE!
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Some more pics from this week.

2 Pleco shots just for Davo and Wyldfya!! (As per the request in Ewurms thread) Sorry, it's the only one close enough to the Tunnel to get a shot of when I was down there.

Nice Matt! You should get an underwater cam and take some shots from inside the tank.

I'm gonna have to take a trip to that mall. Is there a Guitar Center in there? That looks like an amazing display. How long does it take to cycle one of those?

no there really isn't a music store at all in the mall. There are several around the area however. Unless you count the Sam Goody.

I'm surprised Eric hasn't conviced Matt to add some Clown loaches...

That would be great, but there aren't any in the Amazon

 

[T time]

yeah but there aren't any midas either.

It's a stretch, but we did add Central Am stuff for filler. Wurm did hook me up with a NICE silver arowana, though.

John- he's eating a small bucket worth of caplin or smelt daily (maybe 5 lbs or so???)
He has days off when he wants, but normally he is sitting where we feed him as soon as the bright orange work shirts walk by in the AM.

thanks for all the pictures and updates, loving the fish progress. What are the largest CA/SA in there and what size are they. Also, what type of Pike are in there and what size are they?

Wow! Awesome. That's an incredible amazon set-up. Love the gigas.
