    Default Bugman's Wilds

    The 125 wild blue/red tank was planted and I decided to take it down to a light layer of sand and manzanita. It already had one large piece of manzanita and I ordered some more from Simply sponsor PC1. I also ordered wood for the 75 wild green tank at the same time. A week ago I found a 125 on craigs list. I traded the 75 stand and light for the 125, stand and canopy. Stand needs some paint but I thought the greens would appreciate the larger tank. The manzanita takes a while to waterlog so it is still floating some but thought I would go ahead and get some pictures.

    Wild Blues and Reds













    And the Wild Greens

    Love your fish, especially the greens. Those are not the green river discus, right?

    Beautiful fish dude! I really like how you escaped the wood in the greens tank.

    Some of them are the green river discus. Wish I knew what the "green river" stood for. Never heard of a green river green but thats the way they came in to Snookn.

    Lol, wish I could take credit. I do sorta like it also. I was soaking the manzanita in a 44 gallon trash can for about 10 days now and decided to go ahead and put it in the tanks. The pieces in the green tank are still not sinking and that is why they are "scaped" that way.

    Haha that's funny it actually looks very nice. I have always been a fan of scapes that had wood that looked like it was coming in to the tank instead of just sitting on the bottom.

    I ended up getting two from John as well. They look exactly like my other RSG minus the dots. Actually, one of the two I received has a few dots.

    A couple of my are spotted as well. Just not enough spots to be labeled a rsg.

    I may play with that idea and see what I can do like that permanently. I've seen tanks like that also and liked them. Thanks for the idea.

    Larry, your wilds look wonderful, both the red/blues and the greens. Really like the red/blue which is striated down the forward third of its body. Bet it ends up being a royal. Some of the greens are green river, where the other greens from? I like the 125 size tank also. Nice deal you got on the second 125.

    Great setup and awesome bunch of wilds.
    The greens probably like those "floating plants" too.

    Hans has a display tank in his fish house that looks awesome.
