id be inclined to say a house built in 1877 will be here in 100 years time where as a house built in 1977 probably wont be, as long as the floor boards arent rotten the oak beams will be as strong as any steel girders ;)

1 male guppy 2 female guppy and leave it a while :D

just read in a book the royal plec can be a very clumbsy swimmer due to 3 rows of boney plates down either side of its body making it rather inflexible Geoff doesnt look like a royal but im sure the same apply's

moved the filter to the other side of the tank and angled it at the rock's he doesnt like the rocks............wont leave the filter alone though furiously sucking it all over, ill hopefully get a pic soon now he/she's settled in

im guessing i bought my pair a good 3 months+ ago now they took a few days to settle in but were fine together never went near the other fish in any nasty sort of way but recently the males been hiding out in a terracota pipe and attacing the female when she swims by ive since removed his pipe...

first one is male the second is femal IMO ;)

lovely pair there :D

thanks :good: he's still in hiding really shoots out now and then but likes to hide under the slate

thanks for the info you got some real nice plec's there mine cant be a pitbull as it was half the price of yours and just read this on PFK thanks to a link in the fish index, at least he/she should stay small(ish) that was my main concern

a pair of rams should work, 2 males would fight though

i have a pair of boulovian rams there nice peaceful fish and never harm any of the other tank inhabitants, although they do quarell amongstest each other from time to time (male and female) they also follow your hand around the glass :lol: (simple things please simple minds)
