Hi, So this is a sad day. I woke up to find my Aureus dead this morning. Looked healthy last night and I've checked the water and everything is normal and there are no signs of any physical damage, bloating, fungus etc. Other fish look good. Can anyone help me figure out what caused it? How old...

Got me another 6, looks great and everyone's getting on so far, appreciate your help. Now to start on my empty, soon to be planted tank....

Will do, I've got my eye on another six, just always been taught to add gradually. Will pick them up this weekend.

Thanks. I'll do that for the rainbows. The Thorichthys Aureus is with 3 adult Pictus Catfish about 4 inches each and a pleco. The tank is roughly 140cm x 48cm x 76cm, so it'll be closer to 500 Litres.

I was thinking about something different, purely because the take is quite large and it'd be nice to add a few more top-middle dwellers. Any suggestions? I'm not worried about breeding, just that they're all happy and not overcrowded. Scuse the ignorance, never kept cichlids before (apart from...

Thanks all, really helpful. He/she is a fabulous fish, great to have in my study :) Just need to find him/her a companion.

Thanks for your quick reply, that's ace. So many species... Seems like Elliotis are quite hard to find, certainly none in the shops near me. I'll keep looking. Thanks again.

Hi There, I've been keeping tropicals for years, but usually community. My friend emigrated and donated some fish to me, and I don't know what this beauty is. Can anyone help me identify the species of this fish? I keep him/her with three Pictus in a nice 400l tank, and they all get on well...
