Forgot I can upload pictures right threw MFK!!! Anyways Here are some of the fish Excuse the water I was doing maintenance and taking pictures.
Sorry about the quality too, I still only use my mobile =P!!! and yes I included my skimmer things a beast!! Its 2.5ft tall runs of a 7000LPH pump lol my triggers are lucky
Sorry about the GG also, she is very shy the male bashed her silly and ever sense any movement scares her I threw my red terror pair in with her hoping them not being as scared of people should show her its safe. She was living with 4 baby clown loaches before thats how gentle she is !
Clown trigger is just over 10 inch and fuscus is 1ft!! these guys have teeth at least 10x stronger then a pacu.
Only issue I am facing atm is too many fish are breeding. I have slavini, jags , oreochromoius, red devils , flower horns and dovii all breeding. My jags just laid another 1000 egg batch by the look of it me and my mate were looking at the log like dam why is it all white how did the sand get up there then noticed it was all eggs....
Also considering... moving the 8x4x3 before I repair it and fill it allowing me to open the roller door and have a big pond with koi out there and maybe a spa bath... Would love a tropical pond but dam winter here is too cold. one mate suggested putting the fish outside in summer and bring them inside in winter in the 8x4x3 but I dont think it will house all the fish well for 5-8 months.
Also thinking about extending the room a bit to move the 4x2x2 (10) into a sep room and have my breeding pairs there then the area they were in place 8x2x2.5 or so have more a display theme in there and my breeders separate. But everywhere I see potential to extend too the cement is not level and it will cost way to much leveling it if I do it will be a diy budget method lol.

Few more =P Fuscus being measured lol. we was not fun to handle. One side of the jags wood the other side is much much worst!!! Mixed babies, I slashed the net at each tank with fry and saved what ever I caught lol rest will make for dinner.
and the 20x5x5 fish tank from work figured why not post it! its just filled with monsters jardinis etc. the jardinis school with one another which is very nice to see they are also the most placid fish in the tank which makes me think they are only aggressive in these little tanks.

Yeah man theres 5 in there 3 are 2ft + and no joking they school with one another the pacus fight more then them. So I really do believe jardinis should just not be kept in small tanks must really piss them off to turn them into angry fish lol. theres a little parrot cichlid in there 4-5 inch he bites the jardinis and they run away he is the worst fish in the tank bashes anything he can catch. Its very nice to see jardinis schooling with one another.
It used to be a shark tank ;D was nice then but lot of hard work keeping sharks was fun to touch them.

Hey Guys. My Mate was recording the fish a few days ago so figured I would share! Nothing really new few new fish but thats about it.
I have started working on the backyard installing ponds and a fish tank also. We moved the room around once again also this is the last time, pretty sure I have stuffed my back up with all this tank moving. A friend and myself managed to move the 8x4x3 on the stand backwards about 1M I dont know how but its nice where it is now.
Hoping to have it running by feb my RTC is almost ready for a new home with some friends! I was almost going to turn the tank into salt water but then I felt sorry for my RTC ;P
Anyways here are some videos and pictures. ** you may want to mute the music, I have bad taste in music as I am told**

This is the gap created by moving the 8x4x3 which allows me to open up the roller door which is great in summer as I dont need to run any heaters and if I shut the door in the afternoon the room will hold the heat till the next day! It also provides great light + more space for fish!
My Grumpy Hornet, was amazed how strong this fish is, Moved the gaint gouri and she is a little bit bigger then him maybe 18 inches for the gg and 15-16 for the hornet yet the hornet was dragging me around with the net. was worse then moving the mangrove jack around!!!
Little gold edge growing up hard to get a good clean shot of the tank, his always trying to flare or bite. well that and I think I suck at taking pictures.
Got another video with my RTC and his buddy trying annoying the crap out of my dovii male (his trying to breed with the female)
I shall start moving my gg and hornet today or tomorrow also which will allow me to move my triggers (clown 10 inch and fuscus 11-12 inch) over the 4ft tanks. Swapping the 8ft tanks for the 4ft tanks (sw-fw) I dont like these long thin salt water tanks much.
