The 2 fish to the left? There Geophagus Suriemensis. Lol, they weren't my best bass! I had some Azul blues I was growing on, but they were sexy!

I would love a ridiculously big tank as that but no chance! That tank is my biggest which is 60x32x24" .

Yep, in the knifefish family. hah, my hands dont touch the water when cleaning, and hes not aggressive until foods in the tank then he goes nuts.

You need to get some pics up!

I don't suppose you know Tony in MK?

nice suri's mate. Nah aint got pics yet. as ive said before. No pics till it's done. As in finished. Thats decoration wise and once the fish are mostly fully grown. Got a few bits to add. Got to redo the external of the tank. since i ripped all the cladding off. Then got to get the lights sorted again. Pulled out one of the light units and dropped it lol. Went bang so now half the tank has very limited lighting.

2 of the dovii have gone in now lol. Male went straight up to a pike gave him some stick, then went round made sure every thing else knew its place and went and beat his girlfriend for a bit. Think he'd been on the stella lol. But yeah 48 hours later they have picked a breeding spot, and run the tank. Strangely enough he didn't go near a single ray. Not so stupid after all.

New cladding goes on this week at some point, and the new lights arrive some point next week. Then maybe get some pics but i dunno, got to see how it looks. Taking off 3 bucket filters this week aswell. Got the seperate filter tank (big lined concrete box full of media) which will be overkill anyway. Been running that as well as 15 big bucket filters (from the tanks the fish were in) just until the custom one was matured up.
