... but heres mine =D

I set it up a few weeks ago with the help of the information on the forums here and various other people (Including Ryan/OEminX, my brother).

Its a 90L Aquaone620 and is currently stocked with:

1 Koura, named Megatron

3 Fresh water mussels

Numerous freshwater limpets

and some snails that get squished on site

On with the pictures!

The Tank:

This was before the koura decided to re-landscape, there is substantially less green now then there is here.

Megatron:

That is really cool! Nice name too :D

Is 90L enough for koura long-term? I thought they got a bit big, but I don't know anything about them...

90l is a Palace for a Koura. They dont get very big, 10cm max and it takes years for them to grow. The overseas (tropical) species are faster growng and get a bit bigger.

Mine is in a 20l at the moment and has been for the 6 months. It has a little power filter, airstone and gets plenty of water changes of course.

nice looking koura :)

I just lost both of mine :( went to aussie for 3 weeks, filter crapped out and my entire tank died - had the flatmate "looking after" them, but she did not know what to do and unfortunately it was way to late by the time she contacted me

gutted :(
