    well, I let him go last night after the 1st snack... I normally thaw their food and feed them increments... tonight there was 3 increments... nobody seemed to care much about him when he was in the box, think again...

    at first, the McKosker's messed with him but he held his ground pretty well... then, I got a surprised... the Hooded started chasing everyone and focused his attention on the Attenuatus for a quick second... I didn't expect this at all... the Hooded normally messes with the female turned male HI Flame every so often... I turned off the lights and left the PowerBrites for a few minutes to diffuse the aggression... the Attenuatus started peeking out again and when the McKosker's got close, he started flashing them, both the smaller one and the larger one... I think he'll dominate both McKosker's if he can somehow get on the good side of the Hooded... lights are all off now and I'll manually turn them on tomorrow for more observation... wish me luck... man, it was awesome sight seeing the Attenuatus flash, even with just the PowerBrites on...

    Hopefully all goes well Marvin.

    When I was acclimating my Orange Back, it was the same thing. Everyone came up to the box every once in a while to check him out. No major flashing or signs of aggression. Once I let him out it was pandemonium for a few. Being the largest fish in the tank, he still hides a bit, but comes out every time I feed. Which is good!

    Its been two full days now. Everything has luckly chilled out but the Solar does chase him around after about 10 minutes. Its weird though, its not like hes trying to kill the orange back just more hyper play than the orange back likes.

    yeah... that's what I'm expecting also... a few days... that's why I'm not gonna have my lights on auto... just manually turn them on and observe... make sure the Attenuatus is not being bullied... good luck with yours man... Solars are kinda mean though so I hope he stops the hyper play...

    okay... here's Video # 1... please excuse the tank condition with the algae and all but the tank will be under construction this week... new sump to accommodate the CS-200 skimmer better, new scape to incorporate the pillars from gooch, etc... I'm also taking out the two McKosker's I've had since Aug of last year and giving the Hooded a 3-5 days time out to let the Attenuatus get acquainted with his new home... both of the McKosker's and the Hooded are giving the Attenuatus a hard time acclimating but he's eating every feeding time... he's only out when the PowerBrites are on... since I got the Attenuatus, I've only had one complete photoperiod day... but it's gonna change soon...

    Very nice looking fish. You should update more often with video!

    If you need a baby sitter or a new home for those Mcs let me know! Im upgrading the grow out tank to a 48x18x12 in the next week!
