Is that a starlight bristlenose?

I love how happy your fish look

I believe so? But he was a PETSMART bristle nose as labeled so I would be guessing to say yes. He does look like one though eh?

Thanks NUNU but unfortunately my ammo was off the hook and lost the 3 spotted corries (very sad) but everyone else is ok. Running ammo absorbing media in one filter bank so should be ok. Replace the 3 corries prob Monday the ammo should be good by then.

I'm surprised to see that you don't have any driftwood. Plecos love driftwood

Yes hadn't got to that yet. They have live plants for the time being.

Nice hex tank.

How is your stocking and water parameters now?

As I recall you had some stocking issues with final fish sizes?

For example Bala Sharks ideally need a 6ft long tank for swimming room.

Parameters good and final size no issue picking up a 55 today ( I never claimed stocking issues? Just water quality lol ) should see me through for a while on space needs by that time I'll be thinking of a 90. Isn't my first rodeo lol I was just a bit rusty. Cool old hex yes? Craigslist find took some cleaning up bit came out ok!

 

[jondamon]

It came out good man!

Glad you're already planning a larger tank for your stock needs.

Will you keep the 46, 55 and 90 running with each upgrade and share stocking between them or transfer everything into the 55 then the 90 when the time comes?

I think the 46 and 55 will (eventually) be tropicals and the 90 a cichlid tank. Similar to my setup I had 10 years ago lol.
