Pics of the New 125 Gallon 😁
« on: November 18, 2015, 01:05:50 PM »
I've been adding fish to the 125 gallon (6 foot) and couldn't help myself with the pics! I LOVE all the new fish and all the variety of colors & patterns. I have blue with blue bars, OB females, black & yellow stripes, beautiful Lions, and soon to be stunning albinos. Oh, the fun to come!!!

The Zebra Manda male turns lighter blue with blue bars when excited. The biggest shock is the females though. Their OB spots fade away and they turn white with black bars!!!

The Peacocks was sold to me as a Dragons Blood. He's only about 2.5-3" long right now and just starting to show color. Hopefully he'll have nice color later.

Looking good. If you don't mind a suggestion though, it would look even better with a background on the tank.

Agreed. Just haven't found one I was crazy about yet. Don't know if I want to do blue, black, or one with rock work or tree roots on it.... I don't think I want one with lots of green plants. Anyone have any suggestions of a background that would make my fish pop?

My fish are all juveniles, most between 1 to 2.5 ". I'm worried about caves & sight lines. I have plenty of rocks here; But I think I might order some mature plants to break up sight lines and help with oxygen and water quality. Everyone is getting along good right now but things can always change.

Cool tank. Looks like a neat collection of mbuna!

The kids seem to have a favorite new fish. They named him "Chicken". Lol!

Time to order a few more females. Time to get the stocking number up. New fish! Yay! 😍
