Ebay is one to keep an eye on for plecs if you're wanting one delivered. Get some different ones showing up on there quite a lot.

As for a centre piece, it looks like you're quite full up already. I'd keep an eye on the red tail shark of yours as it will get nasty soon (presuming it's quite new and young) , I'm surprised it hasn't taken the female betta out already. It will probably go for the tetras and anything else smaller than it next.

I would suggest shoving some pics up in the pics section and then asking peoples views from there, as I think that would be an easier way to judge where you stand at the mo.

Would suggest ridding yourself of the shark though :good:

Ditto on the rtbs, mine killed a group of tiger barbs, I didnt know it was the shark till too late, I caught it killing them one night when the little one couldnt sleep.

If you mean L200 plecs, then there are at least 3 shops around SOuthampton with them in stock, if that is not too far to drive (all depends which bit of Devon you are in I suppose !). Happy to give you further details if you want.
