Can you guess what's gonna go into this MONSTROSITY?

Well, the count down is truely on. the fish are leaving the vendor's place tonight and the fishes are going to be here TOMMORROW midday (my time)!!!!!!!

Luckily the canopy is now completed so there is a cover. Hmmm, don't know what to do with the the marble pims (12" each as measured last night) ...

The water parameters inside the new tank are not 'pristine" yet but are within acceptable limits.

Pictures of the boxes and fish coming soon

awesome bro cant wait!!!

Waiting for the plane now (just got airway bill from email) ... should be in BKK right now

I am really anxious to see the fish ... tested the water this morning and it is excellent (finally got ammonia and nitrate liquid test kits from ozland ... used to test for nitrite only)

Well, don't you think you are testing our patience??

Just a little bit more plane is arriving from BKK in three hours ... then of course there is customs and vets etc ... hopefully the fish can be in the tank as soon as possible with no side effects

i remember when i ordered a hbrtg and the minute it was released into tank it does that chomping motion over n over...then it pukes little bit... after that it was fine but never seen an aro do such like...probably cuz its gasping for oxygen

My bad guys ... i don't have internet at home ^^ i have to go to internet cafe to do my surfing (when i am out of da office).

Just to let you guys know that the fish have arrived safe and well (aros at least). I had to separate black, green and HBRTG cos they were wayyy too small to be safely put with the blue, red and X-back (kinda morcel size) ... plus marble pims definitely wouda eaten them (they are 1 foot plus now - i seriously underestimated their size).

Sorry for the lack of pictures but i am looking for a card reader ... forgot it on site.

The fish are now divided between two acquariums. The big and puny one ... those small three devils ate all my hard-found neon tetras already ... still too small for the tiger barbs and hatchet fish ... soon enough i suppose.

THEY EAT HIKARI PELLETS!!!!! not blue and red though ... the others took to pellets straight away. they also accept crickets and small shrimp. No live food in winter for them.

PS: marble pims are relegated to outdoor set-up cos they were bothering the aros ... the red aro is stressed out (the fins are starting to spall). Blue base is swimming funny. X-back is completely fine. The other small aros are doing excellent.

PS: sorry for lack of pix ...coming soon - i promise

PS: sadly one pleco perished shortly after arrival =(
