euro4u Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi, I have just joined and am out Manukau way so if you are out Manukau/Auck let me know, at the moment I have a Aqua-One AR 620 tank ( 90 litres ) which has 3 Yoyo Loaches (15cm)a Rainbow Shark (12cm) and about 5 Bristlenose Catfish the largest being about 15 cm and two bright orange fish which I don't know the breed. I will have a second tank that should arrive in about 2-3 weeks being 375 litres that has two Eheim Professional 2 filters and Eheim heater lights etc, am not too sure as to what I will be putting in but am open to suggestions, a few fish that have my interest so far (just so you get an idea as to what way I am thinking of going) are Black Ghost Knife Fish, Clown Knife/Spotted Knife Fish, Spotted Palmas Bichir, Siamese Tiger Fish, Jarupari Earth Eater and Kribensis (Rainbow), in general I think I prefer fish that are "interesting" but on the otherside of the coin I have to be realistic on cost, and am prepared to wait as well. Any comments are welcome as I am still only a newbie and learning. Many Thanks, Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 awesome, it seems you have the bug..... welcome and enjoy. though I must mention that 375 L is a very small tank for all of those species you listed.

Caryl Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Good luck with the new tank. I would suggest you move the shark and at least 3 bristlenoses over to it as they are too big (or too many) for the 90L. I see a base of 120cm x 45 is recommended as a minimum for the loaches too. There are a number here who like the more unusual species of fish so there should be plenty to help you with questions 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi and welcome! The fish you are unable to identify; you could post pictures and someone may recognize them. Take care, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
