Is he still not eating much?  I've been having the same problem on and off with my GKs... What are you going to do with the old tank?

Hard to say for certain, I've had no problems with my GKs and bullies of various sizes but WillyP had the oposite experience.
I would say they'll most likely be fine as long as the kokopu has plenty of food while it gets used to them and they have plenty of places to hide.

All the fish are doing well, the female Green Terror currently has a batch of babies hidden in a cave. Hoping to grow some of them out.
The Jack Dempsey is camera shy so thats the best i could get.
 

Hard to tell from that photo, but I'd say male JD

Thank you. And thank for posting all those fantastic photos during the year.
Have a Merry Christmas yourself!

I recently got a young male to pair with my female GT and now have a female? Jack Dempsey in a grow out tank.
The oscars seem to be the hardest to get photos of, they never stop moving.

I have had a bully in the tank for a week, will add more on the weekend.

Well after almost a year the Kokopu's new tank is being water tested/set up.
If all goes well it should have fish by tomorrow.

Mines also gone off its regular food.  Could be change of season with the water warming up.  It does this now and again so not too worried about it (Nitrates <10ppm before water change & no ammonia or nitrites).  But a change of food especially live food gets it eating now and again, currently its earthworms.  They have to be wiggling right past its nose before it decides to eat.  The fish is healthy and apart from not eating hasn't changed its behaviour at all so not a problem.  The previous times it stopped eating for a few weeks it would suddenly go on a binge & eat everything in sight (which is why I don't have anymore small fish in the tank)......

Earthworms are always a good option. Or mealworms if your lfs keeps them in stock.

Good spotting! He's such a relaxed fish, isn't scared of the cichlids at all. The oscars have tried to chase him a couple of times and he doesn't even move, so they just give up. I've ordered two more to give him a bit of a school.

Just want to say thanks for all the stuff, way more than I expected. Really great friendly and helpful guy!
I look forward to hearing about your next project.

Nice looking fish, the Bala Shark looks to be enjoying the big tank!

Some photos of the tank and growth comparison from when I got them to now. (Apologies for the order they're in)

Finally got a halfway decent video of the Scorpion fish i have grown on since last year.from a larvae caught in plankton net.

It's popped up on the forum a few times, I think someone might have bought some a while back?

@Silverdollarboy2 Still got the natives. Just galaxiids and smelt at the moment.
I was looking at a school of balas or dollars but decided the stocking might be a bit much? 

Got a new batch of fry (A-line) over the last weekend so I now have approximately 200+ new Geophagus orangeheads to grow out.
There are still around 50 juveniles from the first batch; might do a clearance sale soon.

I've got a GT and two oscars in a 400 litre which will be going in soon. I'm hoping both the Oscars are the same gender. I'm still not sure what else I'll be putting in there. I want to end up with five cichlids to spread the aggression. 
I'm open to suggestions

Currently a couple of goldfish until my heaters arrive. Then it's going to house American cichlids.
