_sheebz Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I posted some pictures of this guy a while ago when he had bloat and haven't put up any pictures since so I figured I should probably get on that. So the story is I got him February of 2010 with 2 other Beani and 5 umbees all at 1/4 inch. They were all fine till about 3 inches and I found homes for a couple umbees and 1 Beani. Kept 2 umbees and 2 Beani in hopes of pairing them off, which is what happened. Shortly after, the Beani killed my male umbee (they were about 4 inches) and took a liking to the female umbee. He then started going after the female Beani, so I gave her away. I was left with a Beani/umbee pair which was awesome. Sadly, I came home one day to find a dead umbee and was left with this brute. I then took a liking to fancy plecos and knew they would be fine with their tough armour. So I decided to add a Gold, royal, three beacon, galaxy and common Pleco. Once Christmas rolled around I wanted some more activity in the tank and went to big Al's and decided on a large group of bala sharks. I bought 12 of them thinking they'd be fast enough to keep away from him...WRONG!!! He killed them all and got bloat from them. In a panic I got help from AA and MFK members to help save him. With a huge help from RD. I saved him from bloat and he has been growing with his Pleco buddy's ever since. I have added a small RTC in the mix for the time being until it gets bigger. Here are some pics of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
