beautiful fish.. i have this thing for fish with big personalitys.... i dont think i can fit them in just yet but i might talk to my mum about moving a tank upstairs and having full show tank... or i can just come and drool over all yours

all i can say is wow.. all your fish are beautiful. im sitting here thinking about if i can fit 2 in my big tank.. i think u have converted me to pancake fish woul be a nice challenge too... *goes off to think*

will the eggs be ok on the heater? they are stunning fish. i could spend all day looking at them. Realy wishing i had more room for tanks...

i cant read txt at all, It comes with the dyslexic territory (2 'r's or 1 'r' ???) in fact if people could write everything as they say it. Sortof like WOK / Amazonian language i would be able to read it better and i wont get sore eyes .... please excuse any letters in the wrong order my brain gets confused and i cant tell if some letters are in the wrong order. maybe i should get my mum to check all my posts for me like she does with my uni work...

get saving then :lol:

:lol: Thanks for the good giggle..

aw wat a cutie. he is realy pretty.. nice big tank for him aswell lucky fish

small tank of trade me have been all fine but my one big tank i got ment to be 1.5 m ene\ded up being a 2 foot eeded up geting the lady kicked of trade me as its fase advertising

only use it to get rid of nasty stuf

dont you hate tank troubles... grr. i love trade me but hate it at the same time...

i just googled your new fishy.. very nice looking.. what kinda tank are you keeping him in? i would love a tank full of fancy plecos

I would say a big NO to that one. being an owner of both a BGK and a clown ( diffrent tanks) the BGK is a bit of a girl and has problems finding his food and there is only one other fish in the tank . The clown on the other hand seems peacefull but has chassed our arowana ..so thats saying something. when it comes to knifes they realy need to be in a tank with as little compitition for food as possible as they wont fight for food and you will find u will have to hand or target feed them. knife fish need to be kept stressfree otherwise they can get sick and sick fast and its not cool trying to treat that much water. This is only personal opinion but its normaly said that you should only keep one knife fish to tank unless u have a huge tank as they like to hold large territories and are messy eaters. personaly i love knife fish but i think you need to give them some special treatment to bring out the best in them.. also a quiet tank will mean the knife comes out more in the light.

oh i so love your tank... good to hear all the fishys are being friendly... fingers crossed it stays like that

one of these days im going to get off my lazy ass and start a salty... you all have such tallent.. i might just need to come see most of these tanks in the flesh... i have the i wants now.. not good thing to have before christmass

very lucky fish

my BGK is in with a bisher and thay get along fine hes also in with congo tetras and a butterfly fish.. all the fish stay away form each other and i have not seen any agression even after lights out ( can see tank from in bed). you want to find fish that wont be in the same teritory or wont hog all the food unless u can target/ hand feed the BGK as they wont fight for food. i personalty would not keep a BGK with Cichlids or an aro. maybe try a bornio tiger fish or even a peacock eel..... i think as long as u have lots of room for the fish and none can fit in each others mouths and there is enough food you should be ok....

my beta is curently living with neon tetras been like this for months now and they all get along fine..

very very cool... where are the fishys living at the moment? love the pics with the kids, good to see them hard at work.

thank you.. will google and see if they are ok with salts and try that

i have a male betta that is happly living in one of my tanks but has become very fat in the last few weeks, its not dropsy as he has no pincone scales or anything, still eating and swiming fine, couler has not changed... i thorght he might just be consepated so tryed the whole no food for a few days then a pea trick but nuthing has happened.. all the other fish are fine.. does anyone have any ideas about what it could be.. its like a little ball hanging where his tummie should be and if it hits the light it looks like its full of fluid or clear stuf. will try get a pic

I have a Polypterus delhezi Bichir. he was a prezzy from my bf and is one of my fav fish as he has such personality. I have a thing for bottom dweling fish my biggest prop is finding something to live in the middle waters. have been told congo tetras would work well... i like the look of the royal wiptail but dont want him to get eaten.. but then my fishys have not touched the tetras?

good point..............

i have a place he can stay.. What a beautiful fish my Bf is going to cry when i show him this.... he loves these so much and has always wanted one.. *looks over at 7 foot tank* Recon he can come to auckland??????

i was thinking about a wiptail but know nuthing about them.. will go google.. does anyone here keep one? is it very teritorial... Dont think the bigger fish could eat it as they are long. but u never know.

probaly want to stay away from the plecos unless they are realy relaxed plecos.. had a bad experiance with my last pleco he was a terror
