yep and on mfk :)

picked up driftwood from greyhound bus station express pickup in downtown dallas, wow that was an adventure lol, came in a big box


pretty big even compared to the big tank


am i supposed to soak it or something before i put it in?
I knew it haha. With a piece that size, just rinse it with as much water as possible and then put it in the tank and let it sink in time.

fish have been in a week or so and settling
in nicely, developing their hierarchy


11" chancho, nicely marked, the current boss of tank


9" sagittae, the pig of the tank and my fav so far, awesome
wet pet that recognizes me and follows me around


9" labiatus beautifully marked, looks almost like a koi :D


10" beautiful male synspillum a really laid back and active
fish



big boys coming out to eat


red islestes male, about 6" with already a nice hump


male zonatus about 5.5" getting some blue in him, probably
the most aggressive vieja i have


my daughter's favorite 12" male argentea, beautiful silver
with blue eyes



male pearseii 5", what a pig he is, although peaceful he
holds his own really well, i think they get really big too :D

Beautiful fish, and great update! That driftwood looks perfect in the tank, btw. Large CA communities always make me drool - wish I had a tank that big to put a whole bunch of wet pets in there!
