It arrived last weekend from ND aquatics and I have moved my stock over from my 4 foot tank to this one. Its a 6x18x2 at the moment only one FX5 but soon to be adding a second.

My new young Belum Severums, Mac and Mabel - in the excitement of me getting them I did not realise that they had a tear in their right pectoral fin and its not going to heal, it looks like a birth defect to be fair but they are great and Mac is such a character now a little over 3 inches and already taking on my 6 inch female Nic, not won yet though lol :P

My Agenisous sp. Catfish - Bumble :) Who finally I can 100% confirm is not a pangasious no matter how much he looks like one lol :P He has the typical wood cat skull like cap on his head like wood cats and also a serious lack of any barbels of any kind :) Also in 4 months of having him he has not grown at all!

Also in the tank are my school of Lemon Tetras, 5 Anostoums Ternetzi and 3 Whiptail Cats (2x Sturisoma .sp, 1x Loricarade .sp)

Plans for the tank, maybe try a male Nic with my female see if it keeps her occupied as she is currently trying to breed with anything male in the tank. And maybe some more catfish but not many and not sure what I want yet - most likley some kind of wood catfish that is quite active but not the easiest thing to find :)

let me know what you think of my stocking - getting a feeling that I am pushing it a bit when they get to adults.

:eek: That is a beautiful nicaraguensis!
 
Abit off topic

But I like your speakers!
 
I love everything!!! especially the geos!! substrate is really nice too! Your sevs look awesome also, although I'm not too much into them ..

Great looking tank overall!
 
Good luck. Personnally I would get the Eheim if money is not an issue. Also nice fish.
 
Thanks guys :)

Smitty - Which is the best Eheim for this size tank? I would rather invest in a serious filter than not hence why I am waiting till pay day for the new one :)
 
That is a really nice looking tank and collection. If my african river theme falls over im going down this route.
