promising start please keep us updated

great shout that with archers

I highly doubt congos and african butterflyfish would be at risk after keeping bush fish in the past

welcome back to TFF Same with me I have returned after about 12 years away the rack looks cool

I think you'll struggle to satisfy what you need with that size tank tbh its a tough one Yes thats my tiger got my bigger tank for him as hes growing well. About 13" now with lots of teeth :)

Like a chicken and egg situation I guess. Tank size will depend on what fish ou decide you want to keep but I can guaranteee that whatever you get you will want bigger if you are into that kind of fish smaller preds could be something like Bucktooth tetra which I believe are like mini piranha...

What size tank are you planning for? I keep mainly predators and have done so for over 20 years but mine are mainly larger fish but I have a couple of ideas size of tank dependant You're down the road from me I am in Bromborough Wirral

Just put a couple of potatoes in the oven to do baked potatoes which I will put loads of butter in after an hour and a half salt and black pepper and tuna, mayo and sweetcorn mixed in

Love it, always wanted to keep these and see how they are in a well oxygenated cool water group

Ha ha sorry about that at least I didnt make that mistake after seeing a pic

Apologies EN

Such is life I am afraid young man and one day you will look back and realise why they do what they do or understand it. When I was a teenager I remember locking horns with my dad all the time and it was a horrendous time for our relationship but 30 years later it was his funeral yesterday and I...

That was a good read. Jonny Morris!! I used to love a book I had with him when I was a kid as I was absolutely obsessed with animals. Was it a white bird he had with head spikes? Love your bird and the fact you have had it 25 years you must be so attached

I am not suggesting this is what you do but I have hundreds of cherry shrimp in the sumps of my two tanks that are never fed, I didnt even put them in the sumps. Presumably they eat a load of crap and food that comes from the tank through to the sump as they live in the sponges and alfagrog...

Never kept them but would love to have a group at some point. Theres a load of videos on you tube that I watched last year after seeing these in the shop for the first time. Sounds like on impulse you have bought a cool fish

Welcome to the forum It is a great hobby and I would wager that that tank will not be your only tank this time next year As for moving its a nightmare, I have a tank thats about 400kg in glass weight and I am never moving!!

Attractive fish as Colin says but they get a decent size I'm sure Ive had in the past about 8/9" but they are chunky too and in my experience can get quite territorial

None of my family are religious so no bibles but we have loads of books in the house which in reality are never going to be read again and just take up space

If it is it doesn't look good at all. Used to keep and breed Pulchra but that is a very faded out looking fish

Oak trees are amazing except for the huge one in my neighbours garden that overhangs mine thats a few hundred years old. Full time job all year round picking up leaves, blossom, acorns and branches

cheers pal Lovely fish arent they particularly the blue red tails. I see more of mine now there are less fish in the tank they are a good 5-6" now
