Default Wild White Calvus From Little Africa Aquatics

Received these guys yesterday from Greg. The crappy pictures don't do them justice, they're definitely top shelf calvus.
Here's their new home.


I had to bribe them with brine shrimp but they finally came out for some photos.

I love calvus and these gues are NICE. I love the texas holly rocks too (the only thing is that when I need to take the rock out they tend to find a way to hang to the rock so hard that I can shake them) BEAUTIFUL setup fisher.

Thanks man! I've had that problem in the past lol, i hand picked these rocks out of my piles to avoid any smaller holes that they can get stuck in. (i'm sure they'll still find something lol) I'm going to see how it works out but i might change over to field stone like Russ's set up. (i really like his tank) Or maybe trap rock, who knows? I just set up 2 more 40brs a week ago so i have all kinds of things to play with.

Thanks kewl, i've got them in a 40br, we'll see how they get along. I had to move my black calvus trio out of their 40br because of aggression issues. One of my females killed another female so they're in a 125 all by themselves, there's 1m-5fm left. (after adding a few new ones) I'd post a picture but it's not too pretty right now, but wow, i hope my whites breed as well as the blacks. They're ahh...prolific let's say, i've got two 40brs each half full of fry. lol Those were a combo of Greg and Turons stock.
