Mine is a four foot tank, like yours. I may have to get more torpedoes. Dead peaceful and so colourful.

Its a he with his red nose.

Just done a 25% water change to see if that'll make him better but not holding out much hope. He's perks up for a few seconds and then goes a bit lifeless. No external signs or anything.



Some TB's have been having a nose to nose fight to sort out the pecking order. They're rather cute when they do that.

Nice one Zoe. I like it.

Is that your hand in the pic? I can't imagine how you took that pic. Camera in one hand, barbs in the other? Lol.
