i must admit i thought about posting a polite question just to let him know you could buy a very nice brand new tank for alot less & it would be a hell of alot bigger but after reding the Q & A's decided not to!! im now starting to think i could put my surinamensis, hoplo, redspot, rams & all the rest in there while i wait to replace my 4ft tank, im sure they would be fine, kinda like those lovely jars you see with fruit stuffed in them, this would be a fishy one!!
