[auxillary]

heres some pics during the situation.. new better ones coming soon

My 30 gal.. cutter cichlids, dinosaur eel, bristlenose and gar (now removed)

Some pics of the piranha tank
55 gal, 3 rbp's, 6 cutter cichlids 1 of which that looks pregnate, and a pleco.. since then I've added 3 to the shoal, they are much less shy now. And I took out the pregnate looking cichlid and put it back with the other cichlids.

Pregnate?

10 galloon
4 tiger barbs.. (one got real black the other day and died ) , a pleco, and a dory that I thought was dead but he was inside that ship right there stuck. Up close pictures didn't come out very well

And the 10 gal feeder tank with the new blue lobster..
he got ahold of my poor algea eater, aparently he didn't want to share the log house.

chinese algea eater w/ halo

the coolest blue lobster ever.. except when he tried to escape the other day.. had to cover the holes in the hood around the filter

i love the tank
incidentally you have a Procambarus alleni or Electric/cobalt blue Crayfish. these guys tend to get to about 5 or 6 inches, not known for being too social, but it is also the cray often found in cichlid tanks. oh and you really should keep it at a max of 22c, keeping it well below that will help ensure a long life about 16 or 17 should be fine. sadly they get cranky and are prone to bacterial infection at higher temps, same goes for all Cray even the Redclaw will do better at 20-22c than 24- 28c. lol and its tropical, unlike the P Alleni

yea, i would like to put the lobster in with the cichlids but after seeing what happened to the alge eater, I wouldnt want him to kill my bristlenose or the dinosaur eel. I read online some where that they somtimes kill other bottom feeders. The cichlid tank is heated as well.. what is 22 c in F?

problem is finding cichlids that are happy at below 20C
