That's a very pretty fish :) Most of our natives are too big for a fishtank :lol:

Yes, very wrong :good: It can take over a month to cycle a tank properly using Ammonia or a food bag. there are emant to be ways of speeding it up but opinion is split on whether anything works. Of course if you can get your hands on someones filter sponge, straight out of their tank, then...

I have to point out that the tank is very overstocked, but that's another mater :( I have attached a picture of my Oranda from a few months ago showing the tubicles on his gill and pectoral fin, do yours look similar?

It seems that Misgurnus fossilis is illegal in this country without a license, but the other's in the genus apparently have the same temprement so I should be able to get a Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Dojo Loach).

The above fish has a major kink in both sides of his tail, which you can see in the picture; he also doesn't use his left pectoral fin very well and so is a rubbish swimmer. Occasionally he will repeatedly swim from one end of the tank to the other, and at the corners he will turn around and...

I'm sort of interested, but doubt my car is big enough, or any furniture is strong enough to hold it. I will try and take some measurements and get back to you, but I'm not holding out much hope :(
