Hmmm can't you move the barbs and mix a few angels in with the BP?

Haha you're an enabler :P the only way I can see it working is if I did move the barbs, then get a few really small angels, I think my BP would attack big targets that suddenly appeared...

Then I'd have to look into suitable tetra dithers instead of barbs too...lol I really shouldnt start down this path, I'll just have to persevere, and sit in jealousy at the koi angels I keep seeing on here haha

I know guys, there is so much we want but can only do so much to coure that itch! (But it itch so bad!!!) Damn its like drugs, the more you get the more you want! To be honest I'm tempted to go to the LFS and by another fish to replace the gator gar I lost yesterday, But at the same time I'm still bumbed about it. We can do it, hold back that temptation. But I don't blame you if you can't! Haha
 
Oh man im constantly battling this urge. Just thos afternoon my wife and i were talking about Bowfins.

What makes it worse is that my kids are heavily involved in this hobby. At some point someone always wants something new in my house.

It would be great to set up a large planted community fish tank. My biggest tank is a 150 (small by mfk standards) but i always wondered how interesting it would be to have a bunch of community fish with a heavy amount of plants.

Im hoping to re evaluate what im able to keep (add more mwwwaahhahhah) with in the next year. Providing our move goes smooth

That's so cool that you're whole family is into the hobby. Would make for a great Saturday afternoon out "window shopping" at the LFS.

I think my favorite tank is my 135 planted community tank. It's not heavily planted but it's getting there. I love watching that tank.
 
Do I need to answer, I have no will power and succumb to impulse buys all the time, usually huge growing nasty fish too!!

Actually no. Ive learned to avoid that at all costs. At first it was fun but as time went on it always turns into a nightmare. My wife likes oddballs and always wants something along justarn justarn taste. My daughter just like pretty colorful things.

Its funny but im usually the bad guy lol wife doesnt like it when i have tanks all over the house she doesnt understand the whole "stocking thing" since we are moving though shes looking forward to us getting another large tank and is pissed that i dont wanna add to the stock.

I tell myself i would be happy with a native tank, ca cichlid tank, poly tank, and a comm tank but in the end im a liar

This is my son he was 3yrs old at the time. Its to the point i dont even look at fosh with him anymore. Hes breaking my chops fpr a koloton bichir

Lol I can see how that would have good and bad points!

150g is massive, I can't really see myself ever going over 100g to be honest lol
