Hey guys, unsure if anyone will remember me posting a while ago, but I put up a post thinking my Birchir was a snakehead lol I had the issue of only having one tank big enough and then a quarantine tank.

Well good news as I had to bite the bullet and put him in with the plecos and s
Thankfully they are all getting on swimmingly and pretty much ignore each others existence

I also have a new addition which I was dubious of putting in due to size, but I went and got myself a clown loach as I love these guys and always had them when I was younger
Only got one as I didn't want to chuck 6 in and have them all end up as expensive feeder fish o.O but 'draco' as my 13yr old sister in law called him completely ignored it

I put a deposit on a humongous 8ft x 4ft x 3ft tank over the weekend ^_^ IM SO EXCITED!! Gonna get myself a little school of loaches and plant it up all pretty :P

Hope everyone is doing great

I remember your thread but forgot what specie of bichir it was but anyway I hope the Clown Loach can't fit in the Polys mouth. It probably will end up bad for both fish.
 
No no it's about 1/2 the size of the Birchir, bought the largest one they had so that it wouldn't be eaten lol and I can't even remember the exact species of it now, it's big and a cream colour lol with black stripes along its spine, again they completely ignore each other thank god lol

If you can post a pic again sometime will certainly ID the poly for you.☺ The poly will outgrow your Clown Loach.

From what i was told the last time with his size atm he is 3/4 of a ft and was told he will get to around 1ft or so, which is about the same as the clown loach? And then theres my pleco lol

Thankfully yes, it will take quite a while to pay off but we are building an enclosed extension on the house (currently living with the inlaws) so we will have an anex that has very large double doors, will deffo be a feature tank, im surprised the hubby said yes xD
 
Ikr i currently only have a 3.5ft, biggest tank ive ever even thought of buying tbh, but i need it so it shall have to be done :P
 
Nice looking delhezi. Pretty nice that you can get your own fishroom.
