He’s big.  Beautiful. 👍🏽

Thanks he is an awesome fish he used to be the smallest and when I fed them he would push the Oranda’s away from the food I had no idea fish acted like that, now he’s big enough he doesn’t have to do that the pictures are of him when I bought him and one was taken a few months ago

Thank you for sharing the pictures man. I like how his scales are. 👍🏽 He really put on some weight since you got him.

Yes he has I’ll put new pictures on when I get done work

Looks great!! Your fish must be happy

 

Is that natural wood as decor in your tank? If so, how did you clean/sterilize it? I've got a large piece of driftwood that I want to use in my 75 gallon but unsure about how to go about disinfecting it.

I soaked it in a 55 gallon drum with bleach for a week, then I ran the hose in the drum over flowing it for about ten minuets a day for about two weeks n then rinsed it n put it in the tank that was last year

Soak it in bleach for a week and then soak it in fresh water for two weeks

Keep an eye on your ph sometimes logs can effect it

It did make it drop when it was in the 55 gallon so I started keeping a bag of crushed coral in the canister filter

They are alittle expensive but you could use a Wondershell to help with this

I have thought about using those before especially since the coral takes so much rinsing

I get mine from https://www.petmountain.com/product/aquarium-water-conditioners/11442-505234/weco-weco-wonder-shell.html

I found them to be the cheapest
