Nice tank and fish! For a second there I thought you had built a tank against the bathroom or something crazy like that. [emoji38]

You might have just given me an idea.. haha

[Austy16414]

Yeah it't great idea by Troy or Sunny?

First time I saw it on Sunny's tank, I thought the same thing. Hey, give them the whole bath tub!

Did you swap out the fry for these big guys, or are they growing that fast?

Same fish I got back in August, but I did add about 10 from another group around the same size. They've finally hit the point where they aren't growing much length-wise, but they're starting to get nice and fat

This is the last video I will be sharing of the Red Bishops for a while. They are enjoying their new home in an awesome pond. Pretty cool to see the behavior difference when they have more room.

That's just awesome

[ptran]

Haha, interesting to see they schooling from the top. Is that your pond?

[Austy16414]

I wish bro. This is Long's pond

[ptran]

That is really interesting. I don't know if any body has success with trophs in a pond before?

[Austy16414]

Survival success or breeding success? I'm curious to find out too

Both. I understand that Troph require exceptional water quality and diet to be successful at breeding. Not sure if you can keep up with that in a pond. Don't bash me, just a dumb question lol.

[Austy16414]

Lol I would never bash you bro, or anyone for asking a "dumb" question. He's running a huge drum for filtration, and I would think that the natural sunlight would provide a good food source in algae. My biggest issue is the changes in temperature, especially in a hellish city like Houston

Dang you gotta get more Tropheus friends. I know at least five lol. Tropheus breed and grow like crazy in ponds.

That was an awesome video. Makes me want to do a pond but I agree with this crap weather we have. Wonder how they will do in the elements.
