Very nice fish fishkid I wish I had the space or the money for a little guy like that!

One thing to note though - I don't know if you're going to be treating with Prazipro anytime soon, but it will kill some/most planarians, of which your flatworms are one of. So if you do treat in your DT, I would keep an eye on that in case their mass death and subsequent toxin release causes any problems.

i am not going to treat unless i see signs of anything and if i do i will keep that in mind. thanks!

 

[fishkid6692]

everyone wanted pics and now theres no interest? =ppp ha

He looks fairly plump, that is a good sign. Don't apologize for the algae, this is one case where algae in the tank is a good thing.

Your fish looks a little skinny in slow motion. You should feed it all day long and fatten it up.

 

[fishkid6692]

i do ha. if your talking about that line he's always had it. i don't think it's from him being skinny. because he's pretty fat.

 

[fishkid6692]

heres the tank he's going in. i just picked it up today. it was built by coast to coast aquariums. finished it really quick and it's perfect. =]

 

[euod]

Lucky fish.

 

[Amoore311]

Oo I just noticed you're in Danbury

I'm down 84 over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. The fish looks great!

 

[regina574]

Awesome aquarium! What are the dimensions?

 

[fishkid6692]

48" by 36" by 24". and thanks! =]

 

[fishkid6692]

heres a few pics i took today with my new camera. still doing good. starting to get fat. =]

 

[stunreefer]

Absolutely gorgeous fish Matt, congrats! :thumbsup:

I just sold my 48" x 36" x 24.5" rimless AGE because of work (traveling too much), but I'll tell ya it's pretty much the coolest dimensions you can have - I absolutely loved it. That's a gorgeous tank he's going in man, can't wait to see it set-up!

BTW, tell your grandpa he rocks I talk to mine about fish and he responds "Can you eat it?"

 

[fishkid6692]

thanks! i can't wait to get it going but it's going to be another month before it's ready for fish because the lights got back ordered. =/

and yea my grandpa is the best! i think he enjoys watching my tanks but he doesn't understand how they work lol. he doesn't understand how "a tiny little fish" costs so much. but now when we go to the LFS he says i like that one and asks if we can put it in my tank. he usually goes for the baby french angels and i have to tell him we cant ha.

Such an amazing fish! I am glad it is doing well and can't wait to see it in the larger aquarium! I almost went with a more cube shape tank, but at the last minute decided not to. Now I wish I had.
