looks brilliant! Out of interest what size is your tank? I am just about to convert my community tank to tangs and this is great inspiration to do it! I am currently siliconing my slate together as we speak as a first step. How are you getting on with all of those different species together...

ok, still considering converting my current community 29gallon to the tang set up, and loads of really useful info on here. But I have a couple of questions that I cant see the answer too. Help much appreciated! Obviously a tang tank doesnt have to have plants as this is not their natural...

ok, i cant post pictures... will load it onto a web site tomorrow and link to it! hold on peeps! actually give this a try! http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn196/n...nt=DSC00487.jpg

Can anyone id this fish please, looked interesting in the lfs in the tang tank. I am guessing its a type of Neolamprologus, maybe mustax? If so these seem pretty ideal to include in my Tang setup (if &) when i convert my 20/25G community tank! Provided they have no nasty bad habits or need to...

thanks everyone for your ideas, i hadn't thought about just changing the substrate and decor and re-using the filters and some of the water.... and as for getting new fish the next day, i hadnt even considered that one! now I really do have some planning to get on with! cheers all.

thanks, thats a great help! I definitely think I will do the conversion from community to tangs with a julie pair, and some shellies at some point. just spent half an hour staring at a tank of mixed julie's, shellies and cyps at the lfs. i think i am hooked! just out of interest are all the...

hi, currently got a nice set up of community fish but interesting in moving to a rift lake setup with the current tank. obviously i would need to start from scratch right down to the bare tank as I am not allowed/do not have space for a second tank. :) I am sure this is a common occurence in...

cheers mate. anyone actually kept these fellas and can give me their personal view?

hi there, just seen what I think are some of these in my lfs, they were only about 1 inch long, is this their adult size or are these just juvenilles? I have been thinking about converting my 30in tank from a community to shell dweller/tang tank and these look very nice fish. But there doesnt...

it's a shame, but I am going to give up keeping gourami's. they are nice, but just seem to get ill too often when trying to breed them. I have thick lipped gourami's, and whenever I introduce a male to my females, or females to a male, they have fun doing what they do, and then after a couple of...

thanks for that, appears to be very similar to that photo. maybe they were actually corydoras nanus? definitely had the different head patterns to the body.

just seen some in my lfs, well labelled as nanus anyway. I thought these were no longer available in the trade? anyone got any photo's so I can compare?

spot on! cheers, will give it a go.

hi all, Ok, I have a brush algae infestation in my tank. Not quite sure why it has appeared, probably a combination of some direct sunlight in my tank lately, stopping using flourish excel for a few weeks and then starting again, a trim back of some of my plants, an over stocked tank. Anyway...

hi, I have 4 thick lipped gourami's, 2 males, 2 females, and they have all been getting steadily plumper, no worries there, just figured breeding condition, as they have been making bubble nests and courting and someone on here did tell me that the females do look pretty plump when in...
