Big Boys

I was going through some old pictures of when I had my comm tank still together. I;m sure some of you have seen these pictures before, but I though what the heck....lets share them again. These guys were 24 to well over 30 inches when I parted with them.

And a Video:

Thanks! They were in my 550 gal, I almost needed to wear rain gear for feeding time. They all got along well with some hick ups on the way especially when they became mature and I had some aggression issues as a couple pairs showed up. To me it was a very successful comm with only some fighting that caused a few tears in the fins.

No, I grew all these guy out from 5-6 inches. However I'm not sure where they all could be now.

Thanks! Looking at these old pictures and seeing Chen's inspirational new setup makes me think I should try it again some time.

Thanks Chen! I had these guys from 5-6 inches and the oldest, if I rememer right was about 8 yrs old when I parted with them.

And people say greens lose color as they age, your old one looks pretty nice to me.

Hoping my tank looks like that in a few years!

Thanks for sharing! Those aros look amazing! Great body shape on a lot of them. Some nice spoonheads. Nice and chunky!

Fantastic looking. I can't wait to get some of those monsters in my tank. How long did it take to grow them out to that size.
