Keegan013 11 Report post Posted July 16, 2013 Just be careful with the intake for fx5 as ita close to the sand, you dont want gish stirrin it up too much near it. Apart from that it looks nice. What are the fish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carib 13 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Thought I'd update this, from the original cast these are what's left Still got the jags, at about 20cm both getting along fairly well Lost 1 convict ironically the other 2 who paired up and breed regularly killed it 2 salvini paired up and breed, and the other stays well away from them. Oscars doing pretty good around 25cm mark JD a bit shy but stays out of trouble Loaches surprisingly thriving Sailfin albino pleco in there somewhere, occasionally catch a glimpse of him Losses: lost both SGTs, I suspect the GT, who in turn got his from the Jag. Sadly, though I nursed him back to health intending to swap, he made a bid for freedom from an uncovered bucket and was lost.
