today i was at my local pet store they had about 3 or 4 in a tank about 7 inches long ... they were under 60$... scary to know that those fish will probably end up in a 55 gal. tank...

wow how big is the flagtail that is safe with those monsters

 

[Zoodiver]

When compared to a gigas, everything is fairly small in the tank....well, not the black pacu. Average size of the fish in there are 6-10" right now. The prochs are all about 4-5". Silver dollar are all about the size of my hand for the most part. Some of the cichlids are well over a foot, but some are about quarter size.

You must be gettin ready to put the 'Pima in soon, yeah? And how many fry have you pulled now and what species...?

 

[Zoodiver]

The only fry we pulled were the Midas...over 200.
Tomorrow, I want to set a date / time in STONE to get the fish in. It's going to be covered by all the local TV stations. I'll make sure to get the video up when we move it.
