Earlier this year I upgraded from a 70 to a 120 gallonaquarium. Had a great time building a custom stand, and have really beenenjoying watching the plants fill in, and the Rainbow fish grow and color up. Theyare slow growers, but worth the wait.

Here’s a video of the tank today. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice tank of bows you have there!

Do you mind sharing your stock list, details on filtration and what you are feeding them?

New Life Spectrum Sinking Pellets is the main daily food. Also feed frozen brine shrimp & frozen bloodworms,and a bunch of different freeze dried foods, including mysis shrimp, brine,blood worms, and tubiflex worms.
The tank is heavily stocked,but the fish are very healthy and the parameters are all good. I change about 80 gallons once a week. I may have to cull the herd as they mature and grow to full size.
