Petrochromis Polyodon Colony - The Start

[fshfrk]

Got- I bought a wild group and wanted more numbers so I bought 4 wild caught fish from last years GB. Well they were experianced and the most dominate. the alpha male did what they do. MURDER! thats what they do until they establish a hierarcy.

I am sorry John.. at least I had the privilege to see the angel before her death :(

It was a old fish looked to be 10 years. I remember bull red fishing & blk drum and somtimes you would catch a old weak fish. she's froze solid as a rock now. fertilizer. Did not sex her just assumed she was a fm. everything is good now except for this convict murderer in the tank. 24 hrs and counting in solitary confinment. think I will name him cool hand luke.

Sorry to hear the bad news john.

Seems like cool hand luke is going to have to stay in solitary.

Moving him into another tank for a while is a good idea.

Might also want to try adding some other fishes to to keep the petro's attention off killing each other. Maybe a bunch of moops in their a long with them might help.

Those moops didn't help those that succumbed to Big Bertha's wrath.

The best vid got kicked out of photo bucket because it was to long. I just finished my next algea scrubber. I will set it up in the sump of this tank. I'm getting rid of all the pond fish but Tims going to let me borrow 8 of those 8"-10" goldfish. they should feed the pond scrubber real good! It looks like I can feed them every 4 days. the screen is already full and it was Thursday night when I shot the vidios.

Vids of the new scrubber & hung the light so I can remove the tops.
