    I've been pretty bred with my tank lately, to the point of contemplating shutting it down even, and it wasn't until Facebook reminded me that it's been four years since we built it that I realised why

    The loaches are in!! I think some of them are a little confused, when I opened the curtains this morning there was a group of about a dozen of the smaller ones swimming around mid-level in the water c

    Thirty clowns, a pair of threadfin (A. heckelii), and three tiny uaru. Not a bad haul for a mornings shopping!! No in-tank pics as they're in quarantine with a precautionary dose of meth blue just in

    In pieces!! :D

    Don't think I could get it out of the house in one piece. Been thinking about a fire eel, I'm keeping watch on TradeMe for a good sized one...

    Nice pick up! Would like to see some large A. heckelii around again, nice looking fish. There is a group of clowns going on tm at the moment if you are interested.

    Unrelated, but has anyone seen the ridiculous price being forked out for a datnoid on tm? Over $700 for it. Ludicrous.

    There's someone selling Pacu on TM.. You could always try that? 

     

    Pacu would outgrow that tank. IMO they should not be offered for sale at all. I have seen absolutely huge pacu at a public aquarium, at least a metre long with deep thick bodies. Maybe if you had 10k litres haha.

    Holy ****!!!! That's a nice looking dat but $700?! Hope someone has the same enthusiasm for the large Royal I've got going on there at the moment!! :P

    I agree about the pacu, really a public aquarium only fish IMO.  And HFF still have a few threadfins, one definite male and possible one female and a couple of not-sure.

    One more addition...

    This is the species that first got me interested in aquaria when as a kid of around six a friends parents got one for their tank at home. I haven't kept one for probably close to twenty years and I'm really not sure why. Too common? Not interesting enough? Don't fit the biotope? Bah who cares, they look awesome and I want one, so...
