Snapped a couple of pics of my L14's this morning while feeding them. They're growing steadily and getting more bold when it comes to feeding time. Still haven't managed to get a pic of all eight of them together though!

Nice, very nice.

Great tank set up

As i said before...
Awesome colony of L014 you got there

Love every update of yours

wow.. i like their big spot...

Very nice. What size are they now? Would be awesome to have a big group like that.

I remember when mine used to be that small and cute, but now they are just getting bigger and grumpier, a bit like teenager children

Very nice!

Thanks, they're not huge, probably 5-9cm. There are a few sterbai corys in some of the pics which should give you an idea, although they are good sized sterbai!!

How many do you have? Tank size? I'm hoping they will be alright in this tank for a while, but once we're settled again I'll be planning something ~1200-1600 litres (with a big wide footprint) for them and a whole bunch of other SA fish. If we don't build that could be as soon as a couple of months if we find the right house, but if we do decide to build a house it could be 12 months away. There's plenty of wood in the tank, hopefully enough hiding spots for everyong...

Haha...I totally focused on the cichlids (geos I think?) and missed the sterbai, but based on the geos I had assumed they were 10 cm or so. I had one that size, but unfortunately, it didn't make it past quarantine. I'm hoping to get a few replacements in the future.

Hi David R, I have 4 of them. They range from approximately 5" to 6.5" TL and are in a standard Rio400 (400l) tank but I've added an extra external Fluval 405 filter and 2 further internals to make 4 filters/powerheads in total. More details can be found in my earlier posts here - http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=36173

Hey David

What sand is that you have in there?

Goldies are looking good.
Did the colour change much once they were on a light coloured sand?

very nice . wow great colony. cheers jk

James it is Cemix Builders sand from Bunnings, about $7 for 25kg. It looks a little more yellowish [natural] than in the pics where it looks more black and white. Same stuff I had in my big tank. I think their colour is a bit better now than when they were on the pure white stuff, certainly a little darker and more bold.
