Remember that 80 gallon I got?

Post by Rocco » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:11 am

There is a bit of a story in the creation of this tank. I was tired of having to watch yoyo loaches in one tank and kubs and striatas in the other and just as I was about to lose hope, here comes this beautiful 80 gallon for christmas.

I took my time in setting it up, installed a foam rock background, modified my manifold slightly, cycled it fishlessly, and then slowly added the loaches and dithers.

They love it so much that they actually came and posed for me.

In this pic you can see the size difference in the fish. Small, Medium, and chubby. Not in that particular order.
