Good idea!! Cant see that not holding out any time soon!! Nice work

thank you my friend :)

thanks for that my friend. And as it happens... The ram IS quite agro at the moment. He was a pair for about a year and a half till his mrs died a while ago... now he spends much of his time defending 1 corner of the tank. I might have to look into re homing him as well then. cheers brother :)

The chap that gave me the plec said it was advertised as a 'chocolate striped' plec in the fish store, which he bought on the shop keepers knowledge, that it grew to around 6"... does this sound about correct?? Cheers :)

A pair of rams would do fine with your current stock list of fish, I think. cant say much about the platies... but everything else looks fine to me :)

Thanks byron. That's great. The silver tips were always going to b re homed... I've never liked them to be honest... but I do love the cardinals, so I'll keep them for the time being. as for the red tail... so far, he/she's quite calm and tolerant of everything... although I do know this...

Sorry... I Don't know what kind of plec it is to be honest... but I do know that it's of smaller breed. I've had it almost 3years now and its still only About 3" long.. Including tail... so no worries there. But I have to say... I'm saddned about my wee shark now.... not really the news I...

Thanks @akasha72 really appreciate that... I think I'll still rehome the silvertips... not a fan... but I do really like the cardinals.... as do the kids!! I Need to up the numbers of cardinals though.... so the shark may become a problem then?? Hmmm that's unfortunate!! Its also a juvenile...

Hi there. I posted in the welcome section... nit thought I'd post here too... even though I've been in the hobby for about 10 years or so... I still consider myself a beginner. I currently have a 4foot (240 ltr) set up with 4 juvenile angel fish and am looking for ideas of what to keep with...

Hi there. .is this still available?. I'm interested in this. do u have a pic?? I stay in balloch and could pick up this weekend. cheers. .. gary

Wow nice!!

Wow... when should "bogwood" jist b called "tree" lol... thats ace!! Cant wait to see it ib *thumbsup

Hello all.... used to use this forum a couple of years ago, more or a reader than a commenter... but I've been signed back in again past few weeks, thought I'd say hello :) Nice to see some names I knew before are still here... and lots and lots of new names!! My current set up now is a rena...

Will b nice to see it once all the plants have come on a bit, looking good so far though :good:

Bit of a 'stand off' going on there. My money's on the shrimp :lol: Cracking picture

And lets face it.... tanks are never finished are they? Looking good though brother, keep the updates coming.

Fish all in and doing good, happy days! Really missed watching my fish do there thing, started watching tele for a while there.... brain mush haha. Cant remember how to upload pictures, will have a proper bash at it tomorrow. Gary

Cheers folks, just on my way to pick them up now! Happy days :lol:

Nice to see your keeping this thread going mate, its literally the only 1 I recognised since coming back. And its still looking great too, you've clearly not lost your touch.

Feels good to be back. Loads of new names since I was last here, in fact, I dont know anyone now haha so hope to hear of some nice new experiences. Anyway.... a while back I moved home and had to down size sadly, and ended up in fishless limbo for far far too long, but im picking up some fish...

Fancy a we dram while we watch your tank? (That's a drink BTW) :lol: Tanks looking awesome! Lo e the pic of the loach chilling beside its bud. Live of when fish do that. I had a cory that followed about a spotted cat for years. I think your loach is a yoyo loach. Great pics and read. Keep...

Cheers NMT, that's good to know. Makes sense, not adding in the same colour of fish to existing tankmates. I am still unsure about water hardness. I really love my bogwood and plants in my tank but I know I will need to put something in there to keep the water nearer PH8 and not PH6 which is...

Beeb a while since iv uploaded pics. I use Photobucket, which has changed since I last used it. It won't let me copy the code at the bottom for some reason? Anyway. This tank has been shut down now. I'm moving house and it won't fit in new living room so having to downsize. Sold all fish to...

Hmm, ok. That would be nice. And its the same tank as mine. But still not really much help in regards to my scape options and Malawi cichlids in general :lol:

I'm thinking of going down the Malawi cichlids road with my new tank. But just thinking. Have a few questions though. I have heard that when you buy them, you need to get a load in the .1 go, because if you add new 1's to a tank of existing Malawi, they will kill it... Is this true? And, I...

Now sold

Don't suppose you'd be up for a swap? I have a 4foot 240ltr rena bowed front tank with stand (also beach coloured) and am needing to down size due to moving house.

Bump

We call that a pizza supper up here in sunny Scotland :) lovely stuff too. Especially if u use the pizza halves as bread and fill between both slices with chips. Cani wak it

Your fish will thank you for the extra space to swim around. Tanks looking good. A few more plants would be a nice addition. Maybe some valli's along the back? And you should fill your tank up to the top (unless there's a reason not to of course) to create some more swimming space for your...

Hi there. I have a 4foor long, 240ltr, bowed front rena tank with stand lights etc I'm looking to swap for something that takes up less space. Great condition, beach coloured stand. Will post a picture if your interested. Gary

Tanks fair coming on now, very nice. Bit what happened to your valli's at the back left corner? There all short now? Keep up the good work though :good:

Wow, haven't been on here in a while, better get a we update. My 2 young severum have since died. I bought a bigger red spotted sev from a shop iv never dealt with before (and prob never will) and it contaminated my tank with fin rot and white spot. Something I ha ent had in my tank for years...

Wow that glass/water is sooo clean :lol:

Looks great, especially for a 1st attempt. The plant that's in the right front corner, sword maybe? You should bring it out from the glass a little so its leaves can open out a bit more, rather than being bunched in. But other than that... Well done :good:

Yip, black background does it for me. Looks awesome! Much better. Your tank has a lot more definition now with your plants and fish. Can actually see your scape now (which looks good by the way). I painted the back of my tank with black gloss a few months ago and I wish I done it years ago!

All real nice looking set ups as per usual, bit for me its between 2+5

They are valli's and they grow pretty easily. There roots will also grow out and produce new baby valli's too in time :)

Yip, thinking along these lines myself. I had an infestation of fin rot and white spot a couple of months ago thanks to a questionable fish from a questionable shop (and a questionable person who made the purchase... Me) and it spread through my tank like under water wild fire. But after 2 weeks...
