We went shopping and we spent too much money

[LadyMinion]

How much are those chaka chakas? I want one! Would a 55g house them ?

I think we paid around £15 for them, but that could be quite different from what stores ask for in the US.

They would happily go in a 55g. Ours are in a 40g with our dragon puffers. If you do decide to get one, bear in mind that they will eat small fish i.e. tetras.

Yep, we bought him some river shrimp from an LFS near us for his ABFs because no one near him does them.

Glad they're are looking so well...your lucky those barbatus were still there as I was thinking about nabbing them!

I don't think other staff were having much like with feeding the chaca's so they were basically hand fed!!

I think i might end up having the other chubby after all I'll have a big enough tank in the end!! damn I gave you the biggest one

Wow neat fish!

Complete newbie question here: but in the pic captioned "Everyone wants to get in on the shot" - what is the fish in the top left corner? Purty!

Those pictures are fantastic, and those are some amazing fish, especially the chaca chaca's, I've never realy know what they were until I read this . I nominate the picture of the Chaca Chaca and Roy the pleco (if I allowed to nominate two pictures at once)

That is a Krib, an African Cichlid not from the rift lakes. They can be fairly adaptable to a community tank, as long as they are not breeding. They are commonly available at most LFS's

I'm sorry for nicking the barbatus - but Phillip was potty about getting them. The chubby is very nice, but very shy, I haven't seen him today.

We didn't have a chance to get any neons today, but I'm gonna try them on waxworm in a minute.

.....I nominate the picture of the Chaca Chaca and Roy the pleco (if I allowed to nominate two pictures at once)

Thanks for the noms!

Wow, just gorgeous! I second Roy's nom - the one in the tank with sand on him.

He looks like a rubberlip pleco - are they the same thing, different names?

 

[Paul_MTS]

Oh well no worries, my tanks a bit over crowded with bottom feeders

well i'm glad you didn't get me to net the neons, i'ved had to catch about 100 of them since i started work

yep I'm going to have to give you a nom for the chubby and chaca's, there great fish!!
