The imperial leopard is awesome!

The royal was a Christmas gift

 

[kdklovesfish]

Great gift! I'm totally down with fish for presents but my family just doesn't understand my obsession!

 

[Scoot35]

Lol my wife is coming around she's actually buying me a 120 gallon aquarium

 

[kdklovesfish]

Ohhh I'm so jealous! My husband is totally fine with me getting whatever tank or fish I want, but I just don't have room for anymore.

 

[Scoot35]

Got my 120 today this is the starting stage I'm building a stand for it tomorrow will post more pics when I'm done

 

[Scoot35]

Finished still a lil cloudy from the sand

 

[kdklovesfish]

Very nice!

Why are the fish in there? Are you doing a fish in cycle?

 

[Tbox]

Looks good! I like a lot of twisted and gnarled drift wood too. Plecos will be happy in that environment. Are they all getting along still? It's probably just not a good idea to have multiple mature male and same species of pleco in a aquarium.
Some day I'd like to go big, 150gallon or so.

Because the tank wasn't new plus I used my old filter and everything that was in my old tank plus water so it was like doing a 50 percent water change without taking water out..checked all my levels when I was done with it before putting my fish in they were almost exactly the same as my old tank

 

[Scoot35]

Yes my plecos are living harmoniously they have so much room, plus my smaller ones can hide if needed. my larger common plecos have actually built caves under a couple rocks by burrowing in the sand.
I got lucky with this aquarium one of our friends from church seen where I posted on Facebook about wanting a 120 and he talked to my wife last Sunday and said he had one for 200.00 so that's why I got it. Talk about a great Christmas gift

Here is my Marble Horned Plecostomus boguardin zucchini from a couple cell mates. He's gotten so bad that I need to put in two baited rocks so the Mbunas get theirs. The fin rot seems to be improving since my last post. A big 70% water change went down 8 days ago. I think I'll need to do a 60-70% change on this smaller aquarium about every 3 weeks for big pleco sail fins.

You can see his/her left eye received some trauma today from a rock or another fish. looks like conjunctivitis. I'll monitor the situation. It's not hampering the appetite any, eating machine!

 

[Tbox]

After checking on my plecos condition at feeding time this evening, I discovered he/she is now without an eye. The plecos activity level is much lower than normal. Fin rot recovery with the loss of one eye recently has him/her laying low. One good eye for navigation is better than being blind folded.

Nice plecos. I might need to get myself one of those.

 

[bnpleco]

Same Pleco (L134 Imperial Leopord) by far my favorite fish!!!!!!!!!!
