Brief history of the tank This tank used to have my polypterus in when they were babies, but they have now all moved out so about a month ago i setup it up again as a tank for South American Fish, but my mum had to put some rainbow fish in it, which ruined the theme lol.
before it had the polypterus in, it had a breeding pair of firemouths, before that, a group of young Black Ghost Knives, before that, a pair of kribensis and some and livebearers. the spiny eel has always been in there, so just stays there lol
Some pics from the tank
Rainbows and tetras
The Lake Kutubu Rainbows
One of the angels, the others didn't like the camera
And the Rams, I love these fish!! and i am so proud that they havent died lol, as they are famous for being delicate.
