Rays are well setled now and the smallest female finally catching up with the others. Male 11", female 10" and female 8" approx.
Hoping to get another female in the summer.2013-03-12-075.jpg2013-04-09-114.jpg2013-01-23-732.jpg2013-04-20-128.jpg2013-06-03-162.jpg

Stunning jim, how do you find the frontosa with the rays ? Been thinking of adding a few myself

How does that softshell do with them? Any nipping? Does it have a place to bask? You may know, but with those, you will need to either have a mercury vapor UVB bulb on the tank or feed it some food stuffed with calcium supplament with vitamine D3 or it will get MBD. I learned that the hard way as a kid. The shell started curling at the back and within a few months it passed away. Awsome tank.
 
Those are some of the best quality BD in the UK today Jim.....Stunning!
Your a brave man keeping that Chinese Softshell Turtle(Pelodiscus sinensis) in there, they have a guillotine action bite, Fly rivers are always a risk but having kept many species of turtle over the years this is one I personally wouldn't trust with fish, certainly not of this type and quality.
Tank and fish do look fantastic, no question about it!
 
Jim... thosr bds really have turned out very special. They have all the traits of AAA.
Thousand island. Big spots and loads of them.
A truly beautiful tank to . Great lighting.
Keep up the good work;)
