my Acei group

[Regalblue]

Yes MY Acei group. I actually have some Africans again.
I grabbed 9 of these from John Piippo's "aquatic estate sale" on Sunday.
  Then yesterday I grabbed 2more while at Fins.
Here they are in their 50B quarantine tank. Enjoy.....

Says the video is private now?

[Regalblue]

Damn it!  I'll have to upload it again&  edit the link

[Steve]

You should be able to just go into the settings on your youtube account under your uploads and click "public" and avoid having to reupload and all.

[Regalblue]

Try now....

[Ron]

It's working now!

At first I was thinking "holy cow that's a deep tank, how big is it?!", but then I realized you were filming it on end!

They're looking good - any idea on the m/f ratio?

[Regalblue]

Yeah that is one of my breeder tanks that's in the rack longways. 

Thanks,
There were 3females brooding when I took them out of John's tank. So, that's the extent of my M/F ratio knowledge, right now.

Notice the one missing it's whole anal fin?

Great looking fish, I would love to have that group....

[Regalblue]

Great looking fish, I would love to have that group....

Thanks... I like how they stay in a shoal

[Steve]

Nice looking group

[vaudeville]

 Hey Blair
Good looking group but I also love the drift wood as the center piece.
Great way to remember John as you and I discussed
My Juli fry have taken over a 20 gal grow out tank with the breeders in a 29 all to themselves
As for the Blue Z. Fronts they are in my 90 gal show tank and have settled in great

[Regalblue]

Thanks Steve

Yep Rob, I think this piece of driftwood makes a excellent center piece for the Acei,  especially since Acei are found around algae covered branches in the wild.
 Good to hear the fish you picked up are doing good.

[GrizzlysDad]

Looking great Blair. They will look even better once they are in the 75g you bought from John's estate.
As for the Clown Loaches I brought home from John's, they are doing well in the shoal, happily "clicking" already tonight.
Once I get the tank moved and set up, I'll post pics of all the Clowns...to be honest I lost track of how many are in the group now. One things for certain, I think I could safely call it a herd instead of a shoal or school.

Thanks Tony,  if all goes as planned I will have a group of 15 in that 75. I'm going for a bio-tope show tank with as many big structures as possible,  making it easier to pull decor & remove brooding females for stripping of fry.
  It's going to be a lot different than my normal "pack it full of PVC " breeding tanks.

It's all pretty funny as I started out wanting a species to fill a 50B & now I will have this group of 15 in a 75.  Classic hobbyist fishuses

Blair looks like you found your Malawians, great looking too. Iwant some of those fry when you get over loaded.
