Boy, you're going to have a lot of big ones when they're grown. Are they housed in different tanks? Any aggression?

Nice photo :thumbsup: I agree with the others,You will need a bigger tank when these little one grow.Especially the Adonis which can grow upto 100-120cm and require a tank of 1000 gallons or 300cm when fully grown.

yeah i am gonna have quite a few monsters
the sabaji, dekeyseria,the 2 royals, the 2 long fin bristlenose live in the same tank in a 50 gal
the sabaji is the most aggressive one, but only if some one comes very close to his territory, else everything is fine

the bristle nose are in a 50 gal by themselves and nothing else, will be moving them to a cement tank, wanna try and get them to breed

the adonis is in a grow out 25 tank

the hemiancistrus subviridis are in a 20 gal tank, no aggression amongst them too

the 4 josies and the 4 albino bristlenose are in a 180 gal tank with my aros

the 2 albino gibbys are in a 120 gallon with a few vieja reganis

the 2 regular gibbys are in a 90gal tank with a few vieja synspillums

The adonis was picked because it can grow to 36"+
he is destined for the new pond for a few other large kitties of mine
