tank update...

[madugo]

so the fishes are growing really fast now...and added like 10 bemba in there...
i put up 2 auto feeders...16 times a day...i turn it to the minimum..so they dont drop a lot of nls each time...i tune it to just the amount that every fish gets a little bit..and the setting is like 2 drops every 1.5 hours or so...and i hand feed a little more like 2-3 times a day...and they nip on the rocks a lot....i am having around 500w light on it for like 12 hours a day to keep the algae growing...not sure what type is it tho...but seems like they like it...before i put up 500w of light, i had like 120w or so on there...at one point that almost all algae was nipped off the rock by them...anyway..here are some pics...for some reason that i just suck at taking pics recently....strange...
first some fts...







they all went up to auto feeder...


and the gk first...they sure growing fast...well some of them...















and some ikola...i think they should still color up more?









and finally 2 of the cute little trews i got from john...they dont grow as fast as the tropheus tho...

Nice pics and fish, agree with the rockspape idea. push all the rocks togeher and add more small rocks for a more natural look .

Very nice pics man. Just my opinion but I'm not a big fan of those two species hanging out together. I like when mix the species but only if the colors go together...what I know though...I'm a Fronto-holic. LOL.
