New Fish Tank

[les.tansey]

Nice tanks guys, heres my 4ft juwel i have in my bedroom :





My Silver Dollars:


My common Plec (called Ugly):


And my humbug catfish:


Watch out with the siamaese fighter and the guppies tho buddy, siamaese fighters can mistake guppies for their own species due the the long vibrant fins and tail, and therefore attack them. Just keep an eye on them, hope it all works out fine though 

Cheers, Les

Hi ashbreed, nice tank, just wondering; how do you gouramis get along with the anglefish? I've heard that they don't always get along, but also see them in tanks together all the time, was just wondering how they get on, because i wouldn't mine a few gouramies

gourami's and angels are ok most of the time unless your unlucky and get a real aggressive one of either fish. Just dont buy an oscar if you want any other fish in the tank! ended up feeding mine mice!

Hey les, well the gouramis were there1pm the tank b4 the angles. The gouramis tend to stay at the top of the tank n the angels down the bottom so sort of stay out of each others way!

Had a few African chilclids a few years ago n sh!t got real messy so had to take them out!

Loving ur humbug catfish!

will have to get a pic of our 4 footer up!!
as said, be careful with the fighter and guppies!!
also, unless you have salt water then you shouldnt have a clown fish...
weve had loads of fish now, proper addiction!
at the min we have 3 x tiger oscars, 2 x tilapia buttikoferi, 1 x 10 inch plec, 4 x kuhli loaches, brill!!

Shepgti - well i'm half way there then, because i've got a really peaceful angel, (he is one out of 4 that i got earlier this year, and he was bullied by the others so sent them back and now he's alot happier ). So I might go for some gouramis, waybe a few that get bullied in the tanks in the shops . Oh and don't worry, I won't be getting oscars, i'de feel well grim feeding the buggers mice, haha

Ashbreed - Thanks and I'de never get african chiclids - just too aggresive and stop you having much else in the tank.

All in all I think I might get some gouramies. Should be able to squeeze a few more fish in the tank because i've just bought an aditional filter, so should be good.

Loving it man! And good choices, especially with the fighting fish. That's next on my list  I had 3 angel fish and a common pleco. But unfortunately one of the angel fish died after being relocated into a bigger tank. A real shame as he was the most impressive one of the three

I have a pleccy called Mr Suckalar, he is getting a bit big now, they dont stop growing even if you have a small tank .
If a smaller fish dies over night he hoovers them up without a trace (likes neons), so much for eating alge
I also have some clown loaches, they are just so funny to watch

try for some pics.......

It's crazy isn't it i was originally told they get to 30cm in aquariums but i think it's more like 45-60cm from what i've heared, i know my Ugly, is probs just over 30cm including her tail... I hope she stays that size  now because of how destructive they can be in the aquarium
