Paint and shading work on the first 120g background is done. Both these tanks will be planted tanks and I plan to attach some of the live plants to the background themselves so I think the colors I did on the Background should look really good with some nice green vegetation on it.

Had to take a bit of a break while I waited for the kit of Pond Armor to arrive so I could seal this first background. That showed up today so now have the first of the two BG's sealed. With a little luck I should be able to get it installed for good in the tank and then be able to start adding substrate and plants / wood etc in the next week or so.

Was able to spend a bit of time on the new dual 120g project the past few days. Background is sealed and installed now, tan PFS washed and in, all live plants in this tank. Decided against dual LED fixtures and went with twin bulb flor's with warm color tone and then added two hanging LED 1000lum spot lights for a more dramatic lighting look for the bichirs. Just have to pick up some java moss I bought from the auction next weekend and attach that to the branches and this first 120 will be ready to move the bichirs over so I can start on the 2nd 120g tanks background.

Moved the fish into the first 120g 4x2x2 tank this evening. They settled right in and everyone ate with in 5 mins of being moved into their new home so I think they approve. Stock is 2 Delhezi, 3 Geo's, and my polleni/bleekeri. Once my pair of Senegal\s grow out large enough they will go in the tank as well. Drained the other 120g tank and should be able to start the background for that one later in the week.

Looks amazing Steve...as usual...how big are the senegal's atm? I have never kept birchirs. Are you going to attempt to bed them? Will the delhezi & Senegal cross? Very cool looking fish mate. Are the  geo's all the same species? Is the polleni playing nice with his new friends?

The Senegals are amazing with how fast they are growing. I've had them about 17 days and they already have grown about 3/4". I'm feeding them NLS 2mm pellets twice a day and doing 75% Wc's every other day so from what I have read up on doing that should get them about 1" growth rate per month till till they reach about 8" then they will slow down. From what most people say I guess there is some captive breeding with bichirs but I don't think it's really an easy think to breed them for the most part so probably won't be any breeding going on with them. Yep geos are all red head topajo I believe the species is.

Polleni is loving life now. he/she has been in a 75g for the past two years with five spotted silver dollars and was doing okay in there, but you can just tell how much happier it seems to be now with the extra width & height on this 120g tank. It doesn't bother anyone and just swims all across the glass and active as can be now.

Polypterus tank is looking awesome thanks to the auction today. Nabbed a HUGE bag of anubis, this is only half of what was in the bag, the other half will be going into the other 120g in a few weeks when it is done
