added the substrate for the rays cuz they like to hide inside.
TSN n gars r very fast growers n they r monsters.

when u have substrate in ur tank u must b very hardworking. that can b another way to kill ur fishes. i also have sand in my tank.

personally i always make sure my filter is always overkill for my tank before i do anything. but now im pushing it to the limit. any mistake/laziness now can cost me to lose almost every single one of my fishes anytime. esp with those sand in the tank. if i dont WC "properly" (maybe i shld use MADLY :P) n stir the sand during my WC everytime.

my tank started off with only a 2028 n ard 5 fishes.
when the headcount hit ard 10 i added a OHF.
when the headcount hit ard 15 i modified my OHF.
when the headcount hit ard 20 i added the xp3.

now im only adding fishes.

Thanks Elindra. It hides most of the time so rather hard to take a pic of it. A rather moody fish always that changes its colour. I managed to take this particular shot one day. Its currently at 7 inches.
(They can reach a considerable size: http://forums.waterwolves.com/index....pic=125646&hl=)

seems like i need to show my list again.

1 x ~18" R"T"G
1 x ~12" Lapradei
1 x ~18" Endlicheri
1 x ~11" Long Fin Senegal
2 x ~8-10" Albino Senegal
1 x ~11" Senegal
1 x ~11" Delhezi
4 x ~10-12" Ropefish
2 x ~5" Metynnis hypsauchen
1 x ~4" Feifeng
1 x ~14" Lima Shovelnose
1 x ~8" False Jaguar
2 x ~3" Spotted Raphael
1 x ~4" L002
1 x ~5" L001
1 x ~6" Albino Adonis
1 x ~18" Tigrinus
2 x ~6" BP
1 x ~4" YB
2 x ~2" Yellow Parrot
3 x ~4-6" CL
1 x ~11" MM
3 x ~12-13" Fire Eel

floating tank:
1 x 4" Gulper
2 x 2.5-3" Endlicheri

so far those in the main tank all living peacefully for 1wk to more than 2 yrs. no major issues. just make sure all fishes r well fed. actually CLs r very nice n gd tankmates for rays.

some NOs in my tank which i heard/read before last time:
ray + bichir
ray + ff
ray + pleco

bichir + ff
bichir + pleco

lima + tig (cos both suppose to b very aggressive.) this was told by someone in AF after he saw i have both fish in my tank.
