Homer the Fahaka. New pics July 27/10

Post by taureandragon76 »

Just a couple shots I took today. Put alot more plants in the tank, mostly plants with heavy roots like swords and crypts. So far so good he has not uprooted a thing. I leave the right side pretty much open because that seems to be where he like to do his burying of himself:D

Following me around Lisa??? Lol.

He is in a 135g. 6'l x 24"wide x 19" high
I would say he is in the 12" range and probably just over a year old.

Here are some new pics of Homer and some of the plants in his tank. Have been blessed so far as he leaves them all alone. I think leaving the one side of the tank plant free helps.

Your tank is looking very nice, I love tanks with live plants! I might also add that your Fahaka is about the same size as mine. :)
