Do you have any idea whether they would have confict? cheers Monique

thanks guys, IRA its a sucking loach. will tell pete about big red. thanks for letting us know

Hi there guys, sorry I have taken so long to get back to you, thought I'd quickly go online during my luch break to let you know we got on. We took both the Plecie and the loch out of the tank AT 10AM friday morning, they travelled well. We arrived in Dunedin at 7pm Saturday night it took us 12hours from when we left Blenheim til arrival in Dunedin. I had to set up the mini tank and declorinize the water, so the fish didn't go into the mini tank til Sunday morning 9am. the Plecie was still going strong but the loch had started to freeze. when you moved the container he did rolly pollys if you know what i mean. We popped them into a bag brought them to temperature and after an hour or so the loch had thawed out and started swimming again. So this weekend I am hoping to set up my proper tank, the only problem is my equipment is being used for the small tank so it might get a little chilly in the small tank while working at being the big one to temperature. They are pretty tought fish though. I am glad my other guys are doin well We really miss Marlin and Nemo tho, so first chance we can get we are going to get some replacements. Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you very much I'll check out the pet planet when I get down there. Thanks heaps to everyone I look forward to joining the Dunedin Fish club. Will catch you all again. Regards

Hello, Its great to finally find a bunch of people who know something about tropical fish, Great idea with this web site. My dad passed away two years ago and he had a room full of tanks 25 in total all for breeding plus two big community tanks. About 6mths ago I finally got around to getting the tank up and running. The only problem was I couldn't remember which fish went with what. I have successfully kept a tank of thirteen fish that, I have recently found out we quite uncompatible, opps. But they all seem to get along every now and then I'd get up in the morning and the guppies would have apsolutely no fins left be hey they grow back. Thanks to Caryl I found out about this web site and have learnt alot more about keeping a tank. My partner and myself are moving to Dunedin this weekend so we have had to give all our fish away accept we are going to try and transport our Plecostomus (Probably not the right spelling but it sounds right) and our crazy sucking loch. It will be 36hours out of there tank so with some good advise from caryl and a bit of luck they'll survive. I hear there are heaps of really cool fish enthusiasts in Dunedin who might be keen on giving some better advise on which fish I should buy. The shop where I am now just wanted the sale not caring as to a happy community. I want to say a massive thank you to caryl for helping me to find good homes for all my other fish, it meant alot to my partner and myself. Thanks so very much
