The Kubotai is dead center in the first pic. Could only capture 1 but it's blurry. :) The Rainbows have colored up in the QT already! :)

Lol, I was too busy looking under the rock to see him in plain sight.

How long do you QT?
It depends where I get them but this new LFS is great so after 3 - 4 days if I don't see any signs of lethargy or sickness and they are eating well, they are ready for the main tank. :) I transferred them all in about 15 min. ago. :D

I'll take some pics soon.

Some pics after the introduction to the main tank. Everything seems to be great. :D My rams swim with my rainbows, Gouramis mostly stay up top and my Kubotai Botia are loving it! Especially in a group of 6 now. :p
Hard to get a good pic of the rainbows as they are super fast.

Well, the previous 3 are quite a bit bigger and have been in the tank for close to a year so at first they would swim out, "sniff" the small ones then boot it back to their domain. The smaller ones would chase them all around . The bigger ones seemed to be a bit peeved at first, kind of like when a bunch of kids chase around their parents. :plol But, they seem to be settling in nice now. Thank you for the suggestion!

Next water change...I'm betting there will be all loaches dancing...at least I hope so! I like the color of the new rainbows already.
How does your daughter like "her" gouramis? Still good? It's so nice you are sharing your hobby with her! Father/daughter bonding on the aquatic level, I love it!

Next water change is this weekend so I will keep you posted. :)
Yes, my youngest daughter likes to clean the tanks, which to her means using the magnet thingy and the algae scrubbing thingy to clean the glass. :p I will catch her on a chair looking into the tank sometimes! She's 6. :cool:

Cool! Nice to have helper too. I have a helping husband, lol, he does WCs & glass scraping sometimes, it's all good! At 6 she's not going to be lugging buckets but she'll get there before long.
