Its finally setup !!!! lots of pix

[ozpkchris]

one worry i have is the durso/return pipe. it has some play and looks great but i decided not to use a weir, i guess ill just have to wait and see how it holds up

 

[ozpkchris]

well every thing is working great so far
the sump picks up a ton of dirt
but the magdrive is LOUD and thats a bummer
also vacuuming is not an option i just put the hose on spray and sprayed all the poo around untill most of it was picked up by the filter

That second green texas looks like some fish I caught a while ago in the river here (Orlando).

 

[ozpkchris]

so an update the 2 big green texas have formed a pair, 9I THOUGHT they were both male but the do every thing together included attacking my big oscar, they also killed my 6 in convict whit i had a post about

two of the three jd have formed a pair and boy there color has become so dark and beautiful compared to the lonely third

i aslo added 2 small clown loaches about amount ago the fit in well

um cleaning this bad boy is a ***** , but the sump is so effective at getting the smug of of the water

also a friend just told be he has a big 10'' sucker living in a 30 gal, he said its either going in the canal or i can have him so i guess im gonna take him and put him in the canal...j.k
ill give him a try in the tank full of tough guys

so let me know what you think

here is the deal i came home today to find 200 little fry swimming in the coner of my tank

there jd fry here are some pix

im surprised because i have a pleco and 2 clown loaches and they let the eggs hatch

so i really am unsure of what to do

i would like to leave them in there do you think this is possible with my current
stock

and how/what should i feed them

or what else do i need to know any thoughts ??

thanks for any advice

i would get some drift wood or something to float at the topp seeing as you tank is so tall. it woukd bring a nice look and probly brinh the fish up to that area
