And so it begins

Thanks Nick. Yeah, I'll be taking more photos now that they are coloring up, and three cyps are starting to flash more and more.

*jealous* sooooo so envious of the cyps. Wish I had a bigger tank to keep some. They're gorgeous! But still, it's not difficult to tell which is your favorite in that tank. The moliros are lookin better and better day by day! Thanks for sharing!!

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks B. I'm definitely looking at the moliros more than the rest but that's because they're growing so fast. Also I'm glad I hung on to the cyps when I reduced stock on this tank. They're fun to watch. Well they are all fun to watch really.

Updates from my 100gal tank. 3 acei females spit eggs and fry a couple of days ago and I have 4 female regal blue peacock females holding in a separate tank. I had built a tumbler just for situations like this so the eggs are safely tumbling away and some heads/tails are already visible in some of the eggs. Have to say that this is turning out to be a very productive (or "re"-productive even) tank.

Photo time!

Decided to do a dedicated tank for the shellies and comps this week. Went on a tear picking up stuff Tuesday and yesterday and ended up getting everything I wanted for this tank. 55 gal and parts from Tim, wet/dry and pump from Geral, and overflow from Barrett. Guys, thank you so much for the sales. The fish were in my 125 gal with my Trophs, so something new will happen there soon I'm sure to take up losing some stock

Stock list:

5 Cyp. Moba
5 Cyp. Black Bee
12 Lam. Brevis
3 Lam. Multifaciatus
3 Alt. Calvus Black
2 Alt. Comp. Yellow
1 BNP

Total: 31

I'm looking for some ocellatus to add to this.

Photo time!

Looking good!

Think myjohnson has some blue occelatus he's trying to dump.

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks EK!

I wish MJ would reply my PMs about those :( Tell him I want them when you talk to him next.

[eklikewhoa]

Aite, next time I see him I'll let him know.

You happen to have anymore of that fossil rock laying around? I need a few pieces.

[SunnyHouTX]

Oh no man, bought just enough at NEPCO yesterday. Those be some $$$ pebbles so I couldn't bring myself to buy more.

Thanks for passing on the message to MJ.

[eklikewhoa]

guess I'll have to make that trip out there then...

[SunnyHouTX]

I saw some nice pieces there. Wish I had a 215 gal so I could fit those nice large fossil rock pcs.

[eklikewhoa]

You can make anything work if you really want it to!

[SunnyHouTX]

That is true. One day, ek, one day...

[SunnyHouTX]

I guess the day finally came. Got 9 petro moshi from autonet just now, going into the 125 to join the moliro and annectens. A few more moliro will be added next week
