I will have new fish soon to name and I really do like the names Aether and Nyx however, considering the Anubis episode I should probly stay away from Nyx.

Rambo! :sml1:

Lets just say I didn't name it after a cockroach

Dude Peaches & Cream is my fav lollie, come on :slfg: I've also had fish named: Bane - The bane of my existance Wrath - My man named that one (sigh) Trident - Angel fish Roach - The clown loach Speedy & Zippy - Brown chinese algae eaters (Speedy decided brown was boring and changed to gold) Oh god I've forgotten so many, sold them all two years ago when I moved.

I got two gold Angels and named them Peaches and Cream, figured not much could go wrong there.

I know which is why I felt responsible

OMG I had an Angel I named Anubis who passed away! &c:ry WARNING DO NOT NAME ANGELS ANUBIS!

Just saw Godly3vil's post oh man It's starting to feel like Zebra Pleco's all over again, why must I have a taste for expensive fish my pocket can't yet support? Still off to do a hunt for some info, you never know what will turn up

Thanks F15hguy, my research so far had told me that the water may not be suitable for the loaches, I will have to wait until I can talk my man into having a tank (hehehe). Just had a quick look at the Tanganyikan eel, looking interesting, I'm off on an info hunt now, can you point me in the direction of any good sites/info on this interesting fish?

Gutted they look really neat, all part of their sneaky plan I'm sure :slfg:

Thank you everyone for your input and welcome. My tank has a high ph for the cichlids, I didn't think that would be suitable for the clown loaches. I have kept clown loaches before they are awesom quirky fish which I would definately keep again. If clown loaches would be suitable, would it be possible to keep coolie (kuhlie) loaches? I would really like to have some of these guys. I saw these guys on a doco about the African Rift Lakes quite some time ago, so cool. If there are shells in the tank would they behave similar to in the wild? I have also had Brissle noses before and would certainly consider keeping them again. Will have to think on this one. I also saw these catfish on the doco, sneaky lill bugger, I would like to look at breeding once the 6ft is ready so think I will stay away from these guys. OK, thank you all so much for your help, I think I have narrowed it down to a short list to get more info on: Bristle Noses - These are looking like a solid "can't go wrong" fish I may end up getting one way or another. Shellies - If I can get my fingers on these, I'm thinking I may introduce them after I've set up the 6ft. Coolie (Kuhlie) Loaches - Can anyone tell me if these would be a possibility? Would love to have these cute lill guys. Clown Loaches - I would love it if I could get some clarification on whether they will be ok with the high ph and what I would need to do to adjust them to it correctly?

Ok so I've sold all my fish and all but two of my tanks two years ago to move. Now I miss having fish so bad and I've set up my 120L tank so that I can get started whilst I aquire all I need to set up the 6ft. I am going to try my hand at cichlids this time, and absolutely love the electric blues and yellows, of course it helps that I just happend to meet someone here who happens to have some of these spare. Now I would really like some life down the bottom of my tank as well. The substate is coral sand and there is some wood and coral rock and a fake log so I think there is enough hiding places for bottom dwellers. I've been researching but everytime I find a bottom dweller I think I really like it's either not compatible with the cichlids or (as happend when I fell in love with Zebra Plecos) way out of the reach of my pocket. So what I need help with is some lovely looking, special bottom dwellers who will be ok with the cichlids. I have been lurking around for a couple of weeks now trying to find any info already on here and have read lots of helpful threads but still don't know what could work. I have learnt, that there are plenty of people on here who will have some great suggestions for me and I can't wait to hear from you. Ups on a great forum
