Hello from the fish and I!

[pinkspider]

Hello everyone,

I have lurked here for a fair old while, but thought it was time to join.

I have been keeping fish for around 15 years and work in Aquatics.

I currently have a 6ft Tropical Community with large Torpedo/Denison Barbs, a shoal of Silver Sharks, African Black Knifefish, 10 large Clown Loach and a whole host of other community fish.

I also have a 5ft Oscar setup, which currently has two juvi. Oscars and Tin Foil Barbs, along with a mature female BN Pleco and Colin, my 20"+ Common Pleco.

I also keep a number of interesting(ish) L-number Plecos including: Green Phantom, Blue Eye Red Tail, Tiger, Clown and lots of Albino and standard BNs.

Anyway...here are a few pictures of my fish. Past and present - including a pair of Snakeheads, large Clown Knifefish and my old Oscars (RIP):

Old picture of the 6ft...fish much larger and more heavily 'scaped now


The 5ft, before I got Colin


This is Colin


My Green Phantom Pleco


Old fish...

Oscar, my old Red Tiger Oscar


One of the pair of Snakeheads who lived with Oscar


My old setup, minutes after the Pleco had stirred up the sand!


And finally, my other Oscars and my old Silver Arowana - shame about his drop eye




Anyway, that's a little about me and the fish!

Oh, and a couple more photos of my old setup - including a breeding pair of Red Spot Yellow Severums, a shoal of Silver Dollars and my Knife Fish

well done my friend, and the drop eye is enevidable in silver arrow's, still a stunning fish, i think it makes them look like they have a superiority complex looking down apon the tankmates haha

It's a shame they are so prone to it - I was so careful with feeding etc.

I miss having the Arrow - maybe it's something to look into again when they Oscars get a little bigger.
