The big P. Reds are new. Male Red is about 8", biggest BG a little over 9".

[newb]

where did the reds come from?

[thedude]

Valley Aquatics. Also got a T. Ikola Trio to add some new blood to my group. Got the Blue Giants from him last year. He's been a good guy to deal with both times.

Good looking fish TD, especially the BGs.

[thedude]

Yeah, the BGs are knockouts in person, First time with lights on for the New WC Reds so they ain't near settled in. The guys still a little skittish but went right to eating. I'm feeing pleased with the color considering he's in there with all that action for just a couple of days.

Very nice!

baller fish fo sho!

[SunnyHouTX]

How many fish are in that tank total?

[thedude]

12-15 Trophs, 7 P. Spec. Red wc/f1, 5 Trews. 4 BGs, 6 cyps & 4 misellanious lamp/juli/pleco. Had 9 P. Famula Bangwe in there too but took them out right before adding the new fish.

[SunnyHouTX]

Love the the combination of Petros. Kudos.

[thedude]

Thanks Sunny (and everyone else). How yer polydons doin'?

[tbui1178]

Looks good!

[SunnyHouTX]

Just dropped them off in a friend's tank till I set up my 280. They're getting nice and fat so the extra leg room in the new tank will be appreciated

[thedude]

What's the foot print on the 280? I'm looking at options also, but an 8 footer is a sqeeze for all the places I have available to put something.

[SunnyHouTX]

It's72" * 30", nice and wide. I'm taking it to an LFS to get done holes drilled in the back glass because it doesn't have overflows built in, just 4 holes in the bottom glass for two closed loop Eheims.. Which is fine since it means more space in the tank.

[thedude]

I was looking at 84" x 24". If I could get the HOBs off, what you got sounds like more space for fish without increasing my foot print in the room much. Of course, there's always an arguement about tank length being important too.
