setting up the calvus tank, atlast!!!!

[jibran_shariff]

You have opted for black calvus, I wonder how they'll stand up against a dark substrate and background. I'll be keen to see that.
BTW Whats the tank size, sorry if I missed that somewhere in the thread.

The tank is a 50gallon

I am also keeping some black calvus for some time and they are on white color sugar sand substrate with a black background.
They look pale on the white color substrate and I also will change the substrate to black soon, coz in black color substrate you can see their original colors

One thing I've noticed with these is in a bright environment they are pale even the banding

In a dark environment the banding becomes a nice black
The body color though stays white or black depending on their mood out of the lot the bigger 4 of them are black as night, some times even their pectorals are dark black like the ink fin black calvus

after getting the fish its been a while since i have been telling that i would post pics, it took me a while to set their tank and some more time before they got adjusted to their new tank and then comes the pic taking part, after they are well settled and i have better idea about their behaviour

so here are the pics




















a few pics of the dithers that i am using, and they are helping

Mine are also almost this size but the white sand I guess is not bringing their black coloration
