Some nice colourful pics there , looking good :good:
What kind of plec is that , it looks cute?
 
Nice looking stock list few interesting fish in there, how does your elephant get on with the others? Youve made me want one now.....

I think your plec could be a dark L135 or some kind of peckolita (spelling) quite a lot of light brown for a clown they are more dark and orangey stripes
 
loving the rummy nose tetras . 1 of the fish i wish id kept but havent
 
What's the fish called in the second picture? Black body and orange tail. I've seen them in a few pictures now and don't know what they are :blush:

red tailed black shark - extinct in the wild.

That's some logical, if not terribly imaginative, naming! They've very pretty. I bet they get really big? I really need a bigger tank. I go into LFSs and just walk around thinking too big, too big :angry:
 
Gets to about 6-8 inches, and they'll eat small fish, they can turn into nasty little buggers too! 4 foot tank would be the minimum in my opinion.
 
yes yes, red tailed black shark...im quite surprised you havent seen one before :blink: its a very common fish.
they can be quite nasty sometimes too!
theres a considerably more peaceful shark called a rainbow shark. but each species has their own trouble makers.

great tank btw! i am genuinely stumped as to how you got your elephant nose to swim around like that :good: ...how long has it been in the tank?
as for the pleco...looks like a clown pleco, probably L162 but id check on planetcatfish just to be sure :unsure:



Pink.
 
nice
what is that in the last pic

Elephant nose under he's fav position, doesn't let a lot of fish swim under there except the plec.

Elephant nose doesn't come out to often, only been in the tank for about 2 weeks, seems to be a bully sometimes to the mollies etc if there go near he's cave.
Red tailed shark gets on very well at the moment with the other fish and L162 sounds like what I can remember.

Thanks for all the comments left.

Have a Happy christmas to all :)
