Ahh.. so your plan all along was to get him hooked with the little 30g. Looks great. I have two tanks in my office now. The subtle sound of trickling water is soothing. I think it keeps my stress down a notch.

I am planning on adding smaller rocks to the tank, they will come in to play the same day as the fish from home are transplanted.

Hey, I recognize those fish! :)

Need to add to the Eureka Red colony? The ones you gave me got banished from the show tank after a couple of months.

Where they too mean? lol.. We can prolly work out something... Depending on when you are coming across the water again... :)

The zebras I got from you are permanent residents of my living-room 55G, that is beautiful colony.

They constantly bicker. They weren't bothering the other fish (demasoni, yellow labs, acei and cobues) but they were causing an overall feeling of stress throughout the tank. So I moved them into my grow-out setup, but then 1 of them got targeted by the other 2 and I lost him in a matter of a day. I separated the other 2 and they're fine tank-mates, but they need a larger tank to be together again. I suspect they'd be good in a 125, the 55 was just a bit small for them.

Glad to hear the red zebras are doing well. They're a great fish, and I got lucky to get a pretty strain.

I lost one of the 2 males I kept as well. Almost immediately. We'll work something out.



Thanks Doza! I worked at this in my spare time for months.


Today the Peacocks and Rusties went in. The colors look great! The male peacock is already trying to mate with one of his females. Hasn't even been an hour. lol...
