Well the bare tank has gone and been replaced with a few bits of wood and plants. I have also picked up 10 clown loach between 4-5" although one is laying on its side breething heavily so think I may be down to 9 by the morning. I also picked myself up a sorubium lima and a tiny Ornate birchir. That leaves my current stocking as:

1x Microlepsis
1x thin bar
1x campbelli
1x royal knife
2x Pearsei
1x congicus birchir
1x ornate birchir
10x clown loach
1x L018 plec
1x L200 plec

I will also be adding 3 more plecs when I get them in a few days a L048, L114 and an L330. I am now looking for a group of fish to adding im toying between uaru.f or Hoplarchus psittacus maybe something else do you guys have any suggestions. Anyways on with the pics:

Very nice fish. Do you find your plecs get enough food with all those big greedy fish?

 

[mark7616]

Yeah they eat fine mate I always overfeed inorder for the timid fish to get food then remove it later.

You know what's funny? I have been toying with this kind of idea as well. Even though I just got that Brycon, I am really ready to move onto a group of fish for the mid-water area (especially if they aren't going to be a terror to the bichirs, as the brycon enjoys being). I am also about to order some extra wood and plants for my tank. It's strange how this all happens.

Anyway, I really like that you got some clown loaches. They are so impressive when in a group and I think that they are underrated.

I can't wait to see how the tank progresses.

EDIT: I just want to add that I think that the U. fernandezyepezi would be a better choice. Apparently (from what I remember about parrots) they aren't the best together once they mature, but I could be wrong. I think that Uarus are nicer, anyway.

Why the big change, or i am not the only one to suffer some huge losses recently?

how bout some big silver dollars Mark? some people think they are boring but I've got 9 large ones in my tank and I think they look great, are very active and occupy the mid water

I also got two Uarus in a seperate tank and they are great to keep and when fully mature are beautiful

 

[MadMan-JaMeS]

He had like 15 silver dollars before and sold them off lol

then he had 6 rotkeil Sev and sold them lol

gonna need a few of whatever to fill tht space tho.....

Uaru's sound good tho....

Also you've gotta get a flagtail mate every tank needs one.

Might take some pics of my tank weds or thursday.

[Jim Curtis]

Whyyyyyy!??! The Mbu was amazing! You had an awesome tank with amazing fish and traded them in for boring belly button fish!

 

[Hayleamorgan]

Has the MBU gone?? Oh no you only just got him??
