  • Our new babies!

    The only one who has a name so far is Spartacus, the Pleco. He spends lots of time in his coloseum. We're still learning their personalities before we name the rest of them. The albino oscar is a bully and the tiger oscar is very docile but they stick together, side by side, all day long. The dragon fish is FAST & just looks so prehistorically cool! Within the next 6 months we will be moving them to a 125+g tank, but for right now they all live in a 75g. Though our wallets are now empty, we are having a lot fun getting back into the hobby!

    Is that a volcano? With the Spartacus pleco, a coliseum, and the multi-hued red dominated substrate, I’m thinking you were going for a fall of Pompeii theme for the decor? Did you ever decide what puffers to get for your son’s tank? How big is his tank?
    While I'm not reef ready, I am salt ernate lifestyle curious...

      Hi Bedlamer!

      Yes, that's a volcano, erupting with bubbles! We actually weren't going for any theme, we just went with what we liked & our son picked the coliseum...turns out we like the fall of Pompei, lol. My son decided on some puffers and they're happily swimming in their 55g tank that my best friend's mom gave him. Their pics are posted in the puffer section & their names are Jackson & Nicole. His tank looks great & he designed it all by himself! We put it together, of course, but he picked out all of his decor. *beams*

                    Addict, we bought ours FW & brought them home to 1.005 sg. Eventually we will get higher & we don't wanna do it too quickly. They seem fat & happy for now. Oscars are growing fast & eat like there's no tomorrow, which is normal. Oscars are forever hungry. Thinking about getting some crickets for fun this weekend. Swim, swim, swim, gulp.

                      haha that would be cool. I gotta get crickets too but for the lizards. Im tired of going to the store once a week for them so I gotta 10g set up under the lizard tank and Im gonna buy like 40 of em so hopefully theyll breed. Think Ill drop a few small ones in the planted 55 to see if my tiger barbs can handle em
