    Default The Turq Tank

    Hey everyone,

    Though I would share my 75 gallon turq tank. Still needs some more plants on the right side but its a work in progress. Let me know what you think.















    The pics all came from my phone so please excuse the lack of quality.

    Sure are allot of different looking turks within the strain. I've seen some that look totally opposite of each other?? Even mine will look different than these
    Jennie,

    Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten

    What was the source of the turqs? What type of turqs? How old/what size were they when you received them? How long have you had them?

    thanks everyone for the replies!

    I got these fish about 6 months ago from Gabe Posada. They were about a year old when I got them and they have grown about half inch maybe since then. When I got them only one had a trailer, now all but one have really nice trailers. They are in the 6" range.

    Awesome tank and man oh man do Discus look phenomenal when they are in a group and same type!

    That Amano guy was the one that inspired me and I fell in love with the Red Spotted Leopard - when I saw one of his setups with a group of Leopards just swimming together!!

    I'm trying to breed my pair just to get a group like that and relive the experience for real this time!

    oooooooeeeeeeeeee!

    Thanks for the info jball! Good to see Gabe putting out that quality. I'd take them any day.

    Like Tito, I prefer one strain/type tanks. They are so clean and impressive, especially when they are all the same size. I could spend quite a few days looking at your tank.

    GORGEOUS!

    I too favor single strain schools.

    Your background is stunning especially combined with the sand substrate. Mind if I ask where you got the background?
