Yep he changes colour quite a bit, seems to get a bit darker just before dinner time. The tank it's self is pretty dark too with one white tube at the back and one blue tube at the front, which makes him look dark in some photos (combined with my crap fish photography skills) but he is more than happy... I'll be sad to see them go but want to try something new and I can only have the one tank at the mo

There is a really good landscaping place in Happy Valley near the broklyn dump that has loads of really cool types of rock - not too expensive either - I'm sure they'd have slate...

My flatmate works high up in trademe, and its allowed... I think its good too - I wouldn't want my fronts going to someone who couldn't look after them...

ohhh! Congrats faran here is mine (left) and my flatmates (right)

Haha thanks Not sure about beautiful - it think its a bit weird, but the point is its a fun camera and you can take some cool pics with it!

haha! yes.... I'll tell you all when I see you, it's actually quality gosip!!

Haha yeah there are lots on nice fish out there!!

$50 each when they are tiny is pretty standard, they aren't cheap. And they got to about 25/30cm too so they need a big tank... They are a good fish to aim to keep once you’ve got some experience and are sure you want to keep big fish that need BIG tanks - I've been looking forward to keeping them for years and years now, and they haven't been a disappointment!

very true

do you mean mine? I do have a name!! They are called Frontosa(s) (hence the thread is called "My new Frontosa tank" )

Yeah they are pretty good cameras, I talked my mum into getting one last year (so I can borrow it when I go snorkelling!) here's one I took with it at Able Tasman over chrissy They are a lot of fun!

Ta When are you coming back to welly next? We'll have to catch up, so much has been going on!

Oh and I keep forgetting to show you guys - this is pretty much an extension of me, and I thought you might appreciate my plate :
