    Default Opened too many bags at once....

    I made the mistake of adding seven adult wilds to the tank in subdued light... now I'm not sure which are the Alenquer reds, Alenquer Blues, and Nhamunda Reds. So I thought I would post a few photos and see if anyone can assist in ID'ing them...

    Thanks Marnie... I'm delighted with them. They do have some very minor tailfin fraying, but overall they're in good shape for just 36 hours after shipping. (Mine only stayed in the shipping carton for 8 hours siince I met them at the airport.)

    And my gosh are they rowdy. They tussle and waggle nonstop... got to get them into a bigger glass box ASAP.

    Ask the person you bought the fish from what the differences are between the fish you bought then wait about two weeks or less for them to color up and you should be able to sort them.

    Thanks Jason... and thanks Wes for posting the photos. I'm happy with them but I'm no expert. All I know is they eat like pigs and get feisty with each other all day until I turn on the blue LED, then they immediately fall asleep. They'e been in the tank for just about 48 hours and they act like they own the place. Can't wait to move them to the 120 G.

    Thanks Rick... just a snapshot that has me thinking I should have relocated the sponge filters as I had planned. I guess the filters are good for scale.. these are some pretty big wilds...
