incredible.

I know you ve been asked before I imagine, but what do you feed? what's your rotation? and is it every day?

You have the nicest fish and tanks ever! I am still throwing around ideas on what species to keep in my 45 gal Tall. I know the green pike cich lids will be in there, my group of 4 angels, then I am looking for pleco sp to keep. Yours are so beautiful, love the L177's.

The feeding program may help me deciding, what do you feed yours?

I feed them asparges, carrots, cucumber, squash, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, peas, beans and other vegetables. I also give them large quantities of algae wafers.

My goal is to let there be food available a large portion of the day and night when I have the time. Usually three times a day. Golden nuggets are not for lazy fishkeepers

It is less work and cheaper to feed carnivourous plecos like leporacantichus, pseudacantichus, hypancistrus etc. Golden nuggets are very nice, but demanding.

I know this might be considered aquatic porn, but here are four of my Rio Iriri golden nuggets resting on black rocks

I have just caught up with this post having not read it in a while and once again I am amazed at the pictures!

I often see pictures online and think 'That looks nice maybe I will do that' but these pictures make me feel like going online, ordering a big tank, getting rid of my bed (so I have space to put the new tank) and trying to create something even half as beautiful as this setup!

Great job

Thanks

A friend of mine who know a lot about local geology has identified the blackish rocks I use in this and other tanks to be a metamorph rock called Amphibolite. It is nice to have a name for it

I hadn't seen you changed the population of this tank... as usual, when you do something like that, it's worth it... splendid !

I love the way you shoot your fishes... I have to learn... I love your fishes too... as I have exactly the same

too much class
