150g for Suki the Fahaka- updated pics 1/14

[LooksLater]

I had her pegged at 10'' before the move...you'll see when we get you here in person. Keep in mind the camera's at an angle and Suki is curling up a bit in that shot.

No-one knows for sure unless you take a rule or tape measure and measure her

No way, armchair measuring over the internet is ALWAYS the most accurate!

Not as accurate as pegging though

That's beautiful. I'm setting up same tank size for Discus. I have enjoyed reading this thread and have lots of questions but for now let's may just say beautiful gorgeous setup. Love the wood.

So, way past time for an update!
We were fighting the worst case of cyanobacteria I'd ever seen, it was gawd awful. Did a full black out for 4 days, took off the quad, adjusted the light schedule, and now it looks better than new...I am so happy to have it looking good again!



I lost a little flame moss due to the Blob, and the anubias is less than happy, but it'll come back.


Good news is, the swords are still kicking arse.


The crinium and 'temple bells' hygro are doing really well, too.



And Suki is getting monstrous, of course. She loves chasing those Danios and SAE's around, but it doesn't seem to be doing much for her waistline...lol

Tank looks amazing and Suki looks happy. Congrats!

She looks gorgeous!! I've always wanted to get a puffer but currently don't have room. Does she ever puff up?

Thanks! I seriously love having those Danios in these, it's so fun to watch her stalk them...

Thank you, she's a *little* flushed and sulky here (rough week with the blackout and W/C, lol) but I think she's purty...mommas love, you know. She very rarely does a random "practice puff", the kids have seen it a couple of times but I've only caught the deflating part once.

Yea slowly my danios disappeared, they either jumped or got snagged. Not really sure which though lol. I cruise petco looking for their specials too, like 5 tetras for $5, I buy ten and toss them in lol. Sounds cruel but keeps my pufferman on his toes.

Lol I love it...! It's no more cruel than feeding mice to snakes, just in it's nature!! I think it's more cruel to NOT give a predator something to hunt, it's what they were built for.
We started off with a dozen of the Giants, and a half dozen Pearls...now we're down to about a dozen total...lol. She wants them bad, but they're quick! She's had better luck with the SAE's...we're down to 5 I think.

[nightster]

Danios are fast and non stop movement. Its fun to watch the chase though, that's for sure.

I love Suki... she has that effect on people.. last time I was at your house, I stare at her for awhile and suddenly I said "I want a puffer" . I'm gonna carefully set up a good live food source before I go out shopping for one. There are so many options even for tank of 10 gallon. pea, red eye etc...

[troy tucker]

they re a lot of fun.



i say get your self a puffer fish!
