New Group Of 9 Rotkeil Severums

[mark7616]

I went and picked up my Sevs last night had to take the smaller ones out and stick them in with the tig to grow them on an extra 1" not making the mistake I did with the pearsei again. So I have 5 in the main tank and 4 growing out. The are starting to settle down 1 got attacked by the aro when I put it in but soon fixed it with 40 morio worms so the aro left the others alone. Still settling in so not displying full colourings but still looking good. Here is a few pics

The 5 in the main tank these range from 4.5" to 5"

And my 2 Pearsei that got in on the action still gutted for the 6 I lost

Full tank shot

Here are the 4 growing on ranging from about 3.5-4"

There tank mate who wanted his pic taken

Not a fan of Cichlids but they are very nice

You think the Arowana was jealous of the new comers or was it just in a bad mood?

 

[mark7616]

He is alsways in a bad mood its odd when I put the first in he swam up to it and attacked it. Then once I fed him he just swam up looked and then swam off.

Are you noticing any agro between any of them yet? The cichlids that is.

Wouldnt know mate all my plants are in the garden where they should be.

Nice colourful additions

How do they interact in such a large group? Seeing as people seem to usually keep them singularly or in pairs.

 

[invader]

They're looking really nice, Mark! I can't wait to see them at full size in the main tank.

The tig is looking like a proper tig now, too.

The 5 in the main tank swim around loosely together bit of aggro with the pearsei though nothing major just sorting ranks. But in the smaller tank they are lip locking maybe they prefer to know that they can get away from one another if needs be.
