Its been a while...

[Homer]

Well, its been a while since i last posted over here on TPF, in fact over a year

Anyway, since then i've moved into my new home, and sadly lost my palembangs due to a failed heater while they were in the hospital tank and i wasn't in town to notice... so after a bit of thinking what to get, i decided to move on and get a fahaka for my 200G whos now happily living with an albino pleco and one yellow lab...

Here are some pics of my fahaka

The first day i got her home

Here is one of her at around 7 months old and 8" or so long... haven't got any new pics lately, although shes probably at close to 13" TL

Thanks for all the comments and HGI, i'm glad i was able to be part of that lil voice in your head saying "get a puffer"

Now by the looks of Homer in the 2nd pic, he looks like a heck of a monster fahaka. Looks awesome and well fed. Tank looks really nice too. Would love to see the whole set-up pic of his tank.

As requested, here are some fresh off the camera pics of my growing monster... Sorry bout the quality, its just from my P&S camera...

Don't mind the floating plant, my fahaka must have knocked it off and i haven't put it back in place yet

Nice tank but your puffer needs some cover. Filbert loves hanging out in those fake mangrove caves from Petsmart.

Now that's a show tank, Homer. Crystal clear water and love the whole set-up. Btw, sorry to ask another question but what kind of filtration? Looks like 2 canisters from the looks of the intake strainers but just wondering what brand and size.

very good looking tank

@PP: Yeah, normally i'd agree puffers like some sort of cover, but my fahaka for some reason doesn't care for them at all... i've over the year tried 3 different sizes caves for her as she was growing but never once used any of them and end up sitting in the tank for a month with no occupants...

Maybe i just haven't found the right type yet?

@Fade to black: Thanks, the tank is running 2 Ferplast Blu Extreme Filters rated at 1500L each + one UV Filter

@xrayjeeper: thanks for the comment
