Inspired by a fish tank photo...

...so I thought I'd post one of my main tank.

looks great David :broon:

nice clown loach, used to have a big tank myself a few years back, got scared so gave it all up. I had a 30x24x18in break in the flat OMG what a mess, so after that I decided that my 6ft one had to go, i also found myself spending fortunes on very fancy catfish,

looks like you have a nice set up there

Thanks, That's my 4 foot tank.
I love Clown loaches... and loaches/botias in general. If fish have personalities, these nutters do!
I'm hoping for my inspiration to post her photo...Maggy?

believe it or not David I had four clown loach that were knocking on 8" long and around 1 1/2" deep.. i used to have golden nugget plec's /Zebra plec's and Royal plec's along with elephant nose's congo tetras. The one fish I would of like to of had were Discus but to expensive and very fragile.

just hunted around the pc and found a few pictures..

i've got a sailfin pleco that is about 6" long, had him for about 4 years. other than that, there are a couple of loaches, a moonlight gourami, a goldfish, and some, um, fish lol

will get pics at some point

Heres my puffer sadly gone but had fun with him,he used to spit water at me when he wanted feeding,oh and he crunched air stones :yesnod:

Piranha anyone?






Or perhaps Octopus?








or even this? ....










I haven't a clue what it is, :dry: :lol: .......but I can tell you that St Andrews Sea life centre is well worth a visit. :lol:



Carol used to be very much into her tropical fish like yourselves ... but sadly gave up as they were taking over her life ... ( as I'm sure you understand. )


Anyhoo, I've enjoyed this thread and thanks for your pics guys ... the fish and their habitats look uber cool. :broon: :broon:



I'll leave you with this:

Very common on tropical reefs. Ambush predators.
