I'll go buy some if you know where to get it.... in the meantime, I'm extremely happy with this setup.

I miss these fish...but I am glad you have made a such a nice home for them.

Good Job Dude!

[peterp63]

Thanks Geoff. I'm happy to have them. They are very troph like in their schooling behavior, but they also show the petro in them a bunch, too (mean buggers!). I think I found the last of what's left, but I hope to be able to add to the colony in the future. Let me know if you ever find some more! :)

EXCELLENT video & fish.

[peterp63]

thank you sir. i hope both of our new petros do well enough to breed and make fry for everyone :)

[gotticgs]

i have some of the rock and dan at haw had some extra pcs under his tanks a while back

[eklikewhoa]

That's right... dan does have a few pieces laying around

[peterp63]

Cool, I'll have to go pick it up!
gotticgs, you have a PM.

[geoff_tropheus]

I will keep an eye out for you. These fish are really nice, and I am not sure what has happened to their parents.

They may be dried up and turned to dust.

[eklikewhoa]

They didn't go to the same person did they?

I could have sworn they were parted with before then.

Added 2 koralia 4's, a RENA XP4, and some more rock to the scape.... and cleaned the glass..

nice! man I got to stop by your place to see these bad boys.

pm sent on another issue.

[J-WS6]

looks good man.

[peterp63]

Thanks guys, I'm not seeing as much shaking and breeding with this new scape. I think with the old crazy looking scape more males were able to hold territory and there was a lot more baby making going on. It looks good right now, but I may change it up some. Could it be the added flow, too??? 2 stock koralias = 2400 gph, right? More flow means they have to fight the current more which means they are less aggressive towards each other, but is it taking away from breeding, as well????? Quoc/MJ, where you be?

[geoff_tropheus]

I think you should change your scape around. The more crazy in my opionion, the more places for love to happen.

With the added flow, I can only tell you that you got to be careful where you direct the flow.

I had the output from the MJ1200 Mod pointed at a prime spot, and no shaking could take place cause they were too busy trying to maintain T position.

I dont think the flow is a issue, you just might want to change where it is pointing.
