Thanks everyone!!! I will try and get some better pics of the fish sometime today.
The CK is one of the hardest to get a good shot of, he always seems to be pretty much in one spot...till the camera is out!!
The Pic of Jim...I actually got at a rummage sale, the person had painted themself...I was like are you sure you want to sell it??

G i love your tank! it reminds me of my old cichlid tank =). nice big driftwoods.
Great mix of fish. The length of the tank is deceiving lol, I didnt think it was a 150.
Btw the zoo had been looking for that monkey for months now.. Return him!!!! And you trying to hide him in the 2nd picture doesnt mean that hes not there!!!:devil:

Very nice - I take it the JDs were small when added, and that they were added late in the game?

Thanks Squawk! Actually all the JDs except the smallest were givin to me by a co-worker who couldn't care for them any longer...I've only had them for a couple months so they were pretty much the size they are now when added.

Thank you Catfish, I'm having fun with it...getting some more "stick" things to add in the back today.
Lol, no I mean what fish runs the tank!:rofl:
OH..LMAO!! Well, believe it or not so far they all do well together but the midas/rd is the ruler of the tank.
I got a few more pics of the JDs, RD, and a couple that I didn't get in last night...my "oddball" of the tank the RTBS, and my suckie fish that I have no idea what he is...his friends past away, had three one died "mysteriously" the other Jumped from the 75, before I had this tank.

Here are the shots I got today...it is hard during the day to get good shots because of the windows in the room...with the curtain down you get red in the glass with it up you get glare, so anyway here is what I got that weren't to bad.

LOL, thank you! The pacu may have a new home soon, since he will get WAY to big for this tank. Once I get all the shipping stuff figured out, he will be missed..but he is just growing soooo fast..I knew they got big, but GEEZE he went from about 3"-10" in like 4 months! :eek:

awesome tank.
one thing that you may find is that as Mr. Pacu gets bigger, you may have to remove some of the wood.
I used to have nice wood like that with my pacu, but once he gets up to 18" or so (probably only about 8 or 9 months based on the current size of your fish), the wood is simply something to smash into when spooked..
great setup!
excellent tank and fish Lady G - a credit to you.

Thank you everyone!!!
The pacu, is going to a new home soon hopefully. I just am waiting on some info and will most likely be shipping him out sometime next week, if everything works out right. Yeah, he has grown rather quickly that is for sure...when I got him he was around 2-3" that was around JAN. !!!

It is 48"L x 24"W x 30"H, had to go measure it wasn't sure on that.
LOL, though it looks as though 12 Volt already beat me to that, thanks....;)

Thank you, yes I agree the CK is a great fish...watching him eat is the best, their mouths are just crazy!!

Thanks :) You have know idea how many pics I have to take just for one descent, yes..they are very active and constantly swimming. Of coarse it doesn't help that everytime I'm near the tank they all think they are suppose to get food and start swimming like "I just know shes going to drop something in here"!!
