So, I finally got some pics of my blue mask black PK from Thailand. I got him a new figure to put into his Eclipse Hex 5 and moved in a bit of sunset hygro. In the tank, there is 2 small pieces of driftwood, black gravel, a Java moss wall that I finally made for the tank today, one spixi snail, heater, glass thermometer, and black background. While I was looking for a few things at the LPS, I got to thinking about a name for him: The Creature. I think it fits him because his tank is so dark (similar to a lagoon?), and he's a rather large PK (around 3 inches, which has me thinking he's part giant), and he's pure evil! LOL This tank (like all of mine) is a constant work in progress, and I am hoping to get some more plants in there and can't wait for the moss wall to grow. I may take out the spixi, because I think it's a plant eating snail. We'll see.

Here is The Creature while he was still in Thailand:

Here are the pics of his new tank set up and him:

Congrats on the new addition, Anne. Very nice.

looks like a very nice new friend would of been nice if we could of had bigger pictures but not to worry we have seen the light

The color on it looks GREAT! Very unique, I like it alot.

Very nice looking. It'd be better with cichlids.





LOL.............

Thank you everyone! I've had him for about 2 months now, and I have changed the scaping in the tank more times than I can remember. He's just about old enough to breed now, and I have 2 females that I think can work well with him and be able to live through his agression. So, we'll have to see what happens after I move--if I'll actually be able to do it. The fry require more care than what you may think. It's alot of time and patience, and a heck of alot of room, depending on how many eggs are fertile and how many fry live. They are more difficult to breed than cichilds! LOL
