Kelberi's just got home today....so far so good...but aros were having a field day with them a couple of hours ago chasing and biting them....one's hiding in the corner now but the rest seems to be fine....we'll see how they make out by tomorrow morning. no damages so far but all the aros were biting or nipping at them...maybe it's a initiation or something like that. Aros were just fed this morning very early and should be full but maybe don't like new company.
 
nice stock chen! everyone has grown a lot! makes you tank looks small now lol.

my rtg left my kelberis alone right off the bat but my st went for them. a day or 2 of chasing and all is well. the only chasing now only happens with the bigger kelberi chasing the smaller one. the balck bar dollars look amazing. i should have kept the 3 big ones i brought in.

any signs of breeding from the larger bds?
 
The male claspers are getting big :-). I'm hoping for real action in the near future instead of the foreplay. The kelberis are nive looking they only had 5 but one f them didn't look the best of shape so I took the four. Yeah, tank looks small now! Lol. I'd sell all my aros but one if I could find one buyer! :-)
 
Some added photos....the Kelberis definitely added some colours to my often dull looking tank

i can help you in the ST department. but wont be until next spring, when im back from asia, that i will try to bring some in!
 
Ok, as you know they need to be fairly big or else they become fish food. :-)

When r u heading overseas?
 
The red turn out very nice Chen. You are lucky that Kel is cheap over there. A mono bass here would cost more the kel there for same size.

Lol, funny on your lach..he's a big sob himself.

The Kel was cheap because they were on consignment and the owner wanted quick sale.

Shame on you, Chen :p

Amazing how every level of that tank is utilized. That school of blackbars is something else.

Very nice :)

Which is the one aro you'd keep?
 
I'd probably keep the biggest Absolute Gold xb. He's pretty amazing. Yup, pretty much all levels have something going on!
