Cheers pal I used to keep and breed discus but its been about 8 years or so. My favourite breeder who I also got food from has just retired so all a learning curve again I might put the angellicus in my bigger tank

Since I got a bigger tank I now have only my 7 clown loach and 5 blue botia in the 6ft with a couple of oddball grow outs and intend to set it up for discus with corys and tetras However I would like to keep the loaches in there rather than put them in with my bigger fish. The loaches range...

Does anyone on here keep these? I did have one in about 1993 from memory and not seen one since An old member from this forum that I befriended on FB about 15 years ago but never met messaged me the other day to say he was suffering ill health and giving up the hobby and would like me to have...

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like to pass away peacefully and at home was a blessing for your mum as tough as it is for those left behind. My dad passed away on xmas eve I had hoped to spend xmas with him but thankful that after suffering with lung cancer and towards the end pneumonia and...

Thank you :) Thank you

Yes it is. Funny enough I was given a piece of rock with a couple on a few weeks back and they have thrived and looked better than more expensive corals

Its been running about 27 months and is about the third marine tank I have had in the past 15 years I had a spell for a few months where the tank got pretty neglected and suffered as a result and I was going to strip it down and put some freshwater fish in but it has had a resurgance and I like...

Good shout When I saw the new comp for TOTM I thought I would enter my marine thats about 20g but then saw fresh only

Thank you I saw arapaima at Washington DC zoo last year when on holiday they look amazing but too big for my tank

I love Gar I have two spotted/florida gars but a platinum florida gar is top of my wish list but theyre usually about £1000 Do you have any pics and do you know what typr of Gar it is? Fantastic fish I feed mine mainly on massivore, mussels and silversides . I would try yours on prawns...

Lovely toadstool. I recently put one in my mainly LPS tank and even though they are softys and not viewed as kindly they look great in my opinion. Zoas I have a big soft spot for. Can I recomend Utter chaos zoas. They are quite cheap, grow easily a bit bigger than others and just stand out in...

Glad I found this journal a thoroughly enjoyable read and some stunning set ups and pics. Your fish look so healthy which is a real testament to your fishkeeping

My mates been filmiing on that in Malta I think. Hes like a stunt man or plays smaller violent parts either battering people or being battered!!

They all look fantastic in a way I never achieve with tanks .

I watch quite regularly Predatory Fins as thats my kind of fishkeeping, I used to watch Ohio Fish Rescue but the dad in it bores me and from the UK FishNorthWest and used to like Micksfish

Currently doing water changes on my 6ft and 9ft tank then contempkating whether to ruin my life by watching my beloved man utd get spanked by Liverpool later

I am married to a teacher and disagree but whatever I guess

Not in the slightest . If she doesnt know how to look after the fish properly then he can educate her

educate her

Fantastic thread I love your set up and where you live Gary I've kept fish for 32 years now but only have the three tanks my largest amount is 9 but when I retire and get more time I would like a few more smaller tanks to keep smaller fish in and try some breeding projects

Poor thing

Just taken a sicky from work which I never do as feel like crap but after a sleep I will go to Pier aquatics in Wigan and pick up the three small kelberi peacock bass I paid for yesterday

Its running and I have transferred some fish over. Layout of the sump seems to work and it sits far better now I have adjusted it than the way it was left by the company who made it. The arowana looks so much happier with the space to swim in which is lovely to see and the Tiger fish has less...
