[quote="jamos"]Hi Rob

Absolutely amazing Panaques!!!!!

What do you feed them? Do they get any animal protein or strictly vege?

Thanks

Thx.....twice a week they get some animal proteins but not to much. I feed them mostly with spirulina tablet.

Love your fish. You can use ugj's (under gravel jets) to help shuffle the sawdust towards the filter intake for ease of cleaning.

Rob, maybe in the light of current developments here, it would be nice to see some of your tanks in full shots as a good example? :d

Nice stock list and good looking tanks, damn I wish I lived in Europe!!! Are you keeping anything with them in those big tanks, or just the Panaques?

Even more jealous now, or maybe its a blessing in disguise, if we could get more than altifrons and leucosticta, L190 and L191, then I would never be able to make up my mind about what to keep! (or would have terrible MTS!).

Keep the pics coming.
