happy looking fish and lovely fire eel. Can't wait til mine gets that size

I'm personally not a fan of the marine style preferring wood plants etc but fish are spot on

In regard the corys, I have to go XXL size, anything smaller, is food.

There is a bit of explaining to do with the Flowerhorn. I bought that when I was still green behind the ears so to speak, it has actually had cosmetic surgery to make it a heart shape flowerhorn. I did have two, but just gave one to a friend, notwithstanding the size of the tank, you are best only having one.

I love all the bubbles! lol. Some of my fish would go mad in a tank like that. How many air pumps dp you use for that? I've only got a small one which will only really do twi airstones - keep considering buying a bigger one!

Nice. Looks like an interesting mix of cichlids and 'normal' fish. How do they get on?

I use one, but it is a big one, it is a high blow 65, which pushes out around 4000ltrs/hour.
