No unfortunately 💔 My babies went to the fish shop down the road... Got nothing for them ofc. A pain, but c'est la vie. I predict that my future holds a monster fish tank with a big fat sailfin plec. If and when that comes into fruition, I'll update my profile to show off whatever that will...

They're legal in the UK as far as I'm aware. Mick's Fish is a good channel and I'm subscribed to him, but I can't stand how he just adds and adds and adds to every tank he can until they're bursting with fish. Not much reason to own an arowana other than the aesthetic purposes, but at the same...

What an absolutely foul thing to air out... I do not want to hear about your religious biases, nor why you feel as though it's at all necessary or appropriate to bring up when talking about gay culture. Homosexuality does not have "standards" beyond the standard of showing everyone basic...

Looks great already, like @DragonScales+Doubletails said, I would go for some more plants. When in doubt, some good robust plants make things better in my opinion. A background for the tank could also make the internal decor pop. Not an awful lot of space for more hardscaping, but you could fill...

Agreed lol, "clean" music tends to just mean heteronormative and straight-laced. Doesn't suit this kind of thread hahaha

If you decided not to get the barbs though, I would alternatively suggest upping the number of cardinal tetras. If you have a heavily planted tank or a tank with lots of natural decoration such as rocks, slate, e.t.c, a large shoal of cardinals can look amazing. They really brighten up the tank.

Great upgrade! Blue phantoms are beautiful plecs, and it's great to see that you're upgrading to accommodate it. Lovely tank as well, Fluval tends to be pretty reliable, so you've definitely not gone wrong there. I would go for it personally. There shouldn't be a huge issue with cherry barbs...

Make a light snack of it!

I'm so, so sorry to hear this Olive! It's so terrible to watch things like this go to waste because others won't listen to you. It really is such a shame, it must be so stressful to go through. Things will get back up to code in time, just try not to let these things get too you too much, it can...

They're a great fish, feel like I'll end up with one in a future tank if my dad gets a say in it. One of his favourites lol, had one back in the 90s called "Fred" lol.

Oh really? Those can get pretty big, a real nice centerpiece fish. They look especially good in darker tanks like this imo. My mistake though 😅, featherfins and s. nigriventris look similar when small!

Precisely!! I think it's the way the eyes look kind of sunken in? In art, if you want to make the eyes stand out as creepy, you have them focus on the viewer and illustrate them sunken back into the sockets, which is the sort of way morays look, but without any special effects!

Another great looking tank, that upside down catfish looks lovely. My favourite odd-ball fish.

Wow, looking good! That plec is a beauty, very striking eyes and pronounced colourings on the body. The eel's quite the eye-catcher too! Scary little dude, love it.
