125 Gallon Petrochromis Habitat

[barrettsline]

So I picked up Austys 125 gallon about 3 weeks ago and I have finally finished it today. I just picked up the new owners, 50 F1 Petrochromis Macrognathus Kipili Rainbow. I am very excited for this new colony! Hope yall enjoy the video as much as I enjoy seeing them in person!

Nice video. They are eating like pigs! Where did you get fry from?

Only person I know that has them in Houston anymore is Timber. There is one other new keeper of these besides me, but I'll let come out when there ready.

Excellent choice Barrett , Tim's group is amazing . You may start look into get a bit bigger tank for them because they will out grow the 125 gallon in no time with the amount of fish you have.

Very true Vinny. I am going to hold out until about June to purchase another tank for them. In the mean time I will be determining whether my other fish will stay or be sold/traded for another Petro group.

300 gallon is (what I heard) required for these monsters?

A 210-240 would work as well. 300 would just be nice for the room. Allowing to much room though can also allow for higher amounts of aggression. We'll see how it all plays out in the end. I've got time to determine what my next move and upgrade will be.

I may also split the group between my 2 tanks as they put on size.
