Hello everyone, I am Louise and i'm from just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland.
At the moment i have an 88 liter (that's 23gallon) tank.
I currently have one Blue Acara and his name is Odin, I originally bought two but the male bullied the female excessively so she now lives in a friends 4ft tank and is much happier there. I also have three tiger barbs in that tank, i bought nine to begin with and i think the survival of the fittest rule has left me with two females and one larger male. I bought two glass catfish recently, which are currently in my partners tank for safe keeping until they grow a bit, they are still pretty young and i didn't want Odin eating them, at £5 each that's an expensive lunch.
I'm aware that my Acara will get a lot bigger, and the tank he is in wont be spacious enough for long, the size of the tank probably added to the bullying of the female when i had her as well. I will be moving house soon though and hope to have a downstairs room in which i can put a bigger tank if needed. Perhaps, in time, i could try them both together again.
Any suggestions are completely welcome.
Apparently you have to post at least five things to be able to view your own profile.... is that right or is there something wrong with my thing?
