    These will be with some other fish. I have ABN's, Sterbai Corydoras and some rainbow fish. I will be moving some tiger barbs to the 125G and a few of the rainbow (smaller ones). Any particular reason that you don't keep other fish with them?

      Yes there is Chuck. In the past I had have pretty good luck with breeding wilds and I am hopeful that luck carries thru with my current batch of wilds. Other fish (dither) are simply a disease and parasite source plus my current tank situation is limited. So should I get lucky with the wilds I will not have to worry about the fry having something from the parents. Treating fry is really bad for fry and limits their growth.

        I spent the whole day transferring fish from my 90 to the 120G and cleaning up the 90 for the wild's. Finally done and they seem happier in that tank not so cramped. That's their new home and QT.
        Much better leaves me some room for some more if need to.

          Looks great mate! They look super chill in there. The roots hanging down from the plants up top look cool, and create a lower light environment which is probably soothing for them as well

            Chuck the tank looks great and the fish look happy. Plenty of swim room there. Pothos looks like its doing well also. If those roots get too long... a few snips with a scissors will fix it quick.

              The fish do look happy Chuck and as they settle you will see the bars fade and sometimes wilds will reverse their bars which is really cool. Since the tank is newly setup I would suggest testing for a mini-cycle if you feel that is needed.
