of it them

 

[bae1994]

cool thanks

yeah 100% fully stocked with the Uarus im affraid

it will give me 6 fish in the water column and 5 bottom dwellers. the gold sev, diadema, humbug cats are almost fully grown. the royal panaque is still very small but will grow very slow and the jaguar catfish is about half its potential but again grows very slow. the rotkeil is about 5-6 inch so still has a bit of growing to do and the BGK is now about 6 inches so a long way from its max size but its growing very fast..... the uarus if i remember right are about 6 inch so will be about half their adult size. so lots of growing for some and not for others.

ill get some pics to post for you all. i struggle to do a full tank shot as i cant stand far enough back from the tank to get it all in but ill try my best to get some decent pics. just be warned most of my bottom feeders are nocturnal so they wont be visable shame as they are gorgeous fish, i only see them at feeding time

Stunning matt. The acara is stunning.

Anaspidoglanis macrostoma/Dwarf giraffe catfish are stunning aswell and only get 8" so a great alternative.
