New OB in the show tank
« on: January 27, 2014, 04:23:44 PM »
I've had this guy in quarantine for the past 6 weeks or so. He was originally going to go in the 7ft 265g but since that tank is delayed I hated to keep this big 6" guy in such a small holding tank for so long (10g) so I decided since he had been in quarantine for 6 weeks he was clean and illness free so it was time to give him a new home in my 55g all male peacock/hap show tank upstairs and just find another OB for the 265g once it is up and running.

Yeah this guy is super big for an OB. That was one thing that drew me to him when I saw him. He's a soild 6" and the depth of his body from top to bottom is just really wide.
