is that the same dempsey?? not so deformed looking anymore

No It is not I had this one at my dads house in a 55 gallon. The deformed one was getting beat up so I switched the two.

Looks good . So what are you planning to do ? A mix of African and SA / CA?

Yup Its a pretty scattered tank. I wanted to try really different mix. Its kinda a experiment for me.

Sorry It has been so long since a update. So, I got some new fish put in the 240 and I also have some growing in my 46 gallon right now. I also bought a eheim 2260 to add to the 2 xp3's but It needs a new o-ring and 2 new clamps, so I am waiting for those to come in. I also planted some grass in the corners of the tank. I'm new to the plant thing so I don't know how it is going to work. The water has gotten 100000 time clearer, but I think there is still room for improvement and I hope once i get the 2260 up and running it will get CRISPY! SOOOOOO here is some pics of the tank and fish! ENJOY!

Fish Paradise is closed. You should add AquaZoo (for local store) and Fish Gallery (amazing store). Houston Aquarium warehouse and Aquarium world are diffidently good stops.

You will not regret the sand in the long run. with a good filter the water will clear. There is also a chemical you can add to the water that will clear it up. I try not to use it often due to I hate adding chemicals, but it does work. Have fun fish shopping. Where all do you plan to stop (which stores).

houston aqurium warehouse, maybe fish paradise, and aquarium world.
