Its a Canon EOS something or other. the newer model anyways.
I have some really nice cannon lenses though as my father was a Pro photographer back in the day before digital...
thanks anyways.
As for stocking, im picking up some otocinclus vitattus and possibly some corydoras harbourus or what not...

sounds like tanks going to be very nice indeed

 

[Dan Robbins]

my photography skills really arnt THAT bad surely!

hope you dont mind me butting in, but i usually find that although the cardinals and neons look really nice, they shoal up better when there's a bigger fish to move them about abit, like an angel or a semi-peaceful cichlid, i hope im not being irrisponsible?

 

[Dan Robbins]

no your not. I know what you mean, Something just to keep them on edge puts them in a really nice shoal, that was my main reason as to wanting angels as a matter of fact.
However, as said above, although some of the domesticated angels stay small enough to be houses with relative safety, i was really after some nice wild ones which tend to grow that bit larger so im not going to risk it.
I have 50 cardinal tetras in there now, and they do look dman nice.

from my experience of angels, ive never known them get that aggressive
are there any other cichlids that catch your eye?

 

[Dan Robbins]

its very difficult to get hold of wild angels.
Domesticated angels are smaller and tent to have limited agression.
Wild angels can get BIG, altum angels get even bigger and are quite agressive.
I dont know if i mentioned in my prev posts, but it was altums i was after by the way, Im not going to risk it though, i just wanted an overview of personal experiance as there is much media which is of mixed opinions.

Im not going to go with any other cichlids except maybe some apistogramma and mikrogeophagus.
Im hopefully getting some Otocinclus vitattus wednesday to help with some of the algae amd possibly some dwarf corydoras, but im in no real rush to stock..
