Mincie.. you been reading those Fairy Tale books again? :lol: SMC - What a great offer to tank swap, thats really kind of you 8) Bet your rapt Jasmine, and I hope you can make the most of the Xmas period, it certainly can be a lonely time for some, but with your good news on tank swap, it must cheer you up some

I can imagine :lol: I saw a young Pictus recently in a half terracota pot in a tank and it was going around and around in circles within this pot, hilarious, I did wonder if someone had poured a touch of vodka in the tank :lol:

Hiya Yeah that's the problem when you see them in alot of LFS, they are washed out looking often, mine were like that when I bought them and they are so beautifully coloured, however, they are in a well planted tank and are as happy as larry

Great stuff, bet you are rapt! A fish that I love, that often gets overlooked is the Columbian Tetra, we have tank with a school of Columbians, and the blue bodies with the crimson red finnage is out of this world... I have often seen them in the shops, but they have been on a very light substrate, so of course doesn't do them justice at all, they are a reasonable size tetra to, nothing that will get scoffed at a blink of an eye :lol: Mekhaela

No worries They are certainly a catfish thats full of personality and their stomachs come first :lol:

Oh and the National Aquarium here in Napier have some, and they are large and real fatties :lol:

Hiya The Pearl Mystus grow large enough to become a pesky fish chomper, so definately not "community" material :lol: The net states they get to around the 15cm mark, but we have one thats around the 22 cm odd mark.. and definately loves the food :lol: Beautiful fish, great catfish for the larger cichlid tank..

We have all 3 of our big African tanks with Aragonite, we rinsed it as thoroughly as we could, and ran it in the tank, filters definately cleared what cloudiness there was in no time

Wow thanks for that!

Yikes I would contact the seller and at least bring it to his/her attention, (probably an honest error in measurement) hope he/she will at least be fair about the situation... Good Luck! Mekhaela

Thanks for the input over the Frons Frenchy, much appreciated 8) I have been keeping an eye on our lot, and haven't noticed any yellow colouring in the dorsal of our lot, so will be interesting to see if any develop it. Mekhaela
