Nix, Well, better late than never eh :) I only spotted this replay as I came here looking for something i'd written. Anyway, to answer your question. No, the Angels are in the Community Tank, the Pictus are in the other tank with the Tin Foils. They seem to get on fine. Those Angels have...

Thanks to all for the help and advice. semper : I haven't touched the filters as they are under-gravel ones. The LFS guy tested the water and said it was OK but I didn't see any hard figures and he didn't leave anything - he said I can take a cup into his shop and he will test it there for me...

Hi, A bit of background (full intro here : http://fish.orbust.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=45766). A few weeks ago we bought a house and inherited 2 x 44gall fishtanks + stock, prior to this I hadn't so much as kept a goldfish. We got some help from some slightly knowledgable friends and all...

I posted some pics of the tanks and some of the fish in the "Member's Aquarium and Fish Pictures" forum here : http://fish.orbust.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=45950 M.

Nethius, The cats are between 5" and 6" long and are great entertainment. Ben, Thanks. I see you have Clown Loaches, me also they are perhaps my favourites. I have 1 x 5" and 3 x 2.5" ones but they are all a little sick at the moment with Velvet. I'm in the 2nd day of treatment for them and...

Thanks Vip, I had a few good "group" pics of the Cats so I made up the following pic. I have 6 and they are great fun to watch, particularly at feeding time.

Well, OK, I'll post a pics of the 2 x Tanks. As you can see they are built into a bar, a bit 70s I think but I suppose a good use of space :)
