by the way what is your website?
I have many interests and my basketball site is actually my only website but it does cover a few of my other interests like birds, fish:headbang2 , paralympics, hockey & olympics, cats, my dog named sex etc. if you look in the left column.

A few updates in the 50k:

Now that the black shark has been removed I have been able to introduce:

June 1 to 12 3 baby red tails 24" 14 months old raised by me
26" 14 months old taised by me
33" 36 months old (given to me by Sheldon X)
1 planiceps 33"
1 tiger shovelnose 25"
1 sail fin cat
3 baby gigas 28" to 30" 9 month old raised by me

12 plecos 12" to 18"

The Wallego has had few attempts to eat the gigas but by feeding him a 20" salmon and 16" mackeral he has settled down.

The gigas have already put a dent into the large cichlid population but with 28,000 lbs of lava rock they will repopulate in a few months.

I also have added a second air diffuser.

The Black Shark (Morulius chrysophekadion)
has been caught and removed from the tank allowing for the introduction of a couple of young red tail cats (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus)
( one 24" and the other 36"). The black shark has killed several fish including 3 big red tails.
Hi Arapaimag how big is that black shark? And how come he did so much damage on the RTs? Competition for the territory? I am very curious about this fish behaviour in such a large tank like yours :)
Cya!

PS: Do u keep any central american cichlids in the 50k? If so which species you keep? Do they get along with the other monsters?
