They look fantastic. Any reason why you keep them seperated in seperate tanks?

 

[lilfishie]

they are so amazing and colourful

Hi fella yes there is a good reason lol i will explain. When we first had the tank cabinet and hood built it was meant for an 8 foot tank but we had a big problem an 8 foot tank would not go though the house and since we did not fancy taking windows out and did not know that some firms will build a tank with in the house at the time we had to go for two 4 foot tanks and join them in such away as to look like an 8 foot but we are now considering trying to find someone willing to build us an 8 foot tank in our home to go on that stand see below. We are also looking for someone who can rebuild us a hood for the new tank.

Beautiful tanks and stunning fish - I wish I had the time, patience and knowledge to have discus, but in this madhouse they'd probably die of fright!

And I am very jealous of your tanks, they are really very special - are they real or fake plants? And can I be cheeky and ask if they're fake, where did you get them from/what brand are they?

The leafy ones down the back look a bit like the exo-terra ones I use in my terrariums

looking better than when I saw them in person Helen.

sadly, this morning, I lost the yoyos I got from you due to the filters being off all night
Welcome to TFF though, have fun

Hi yes they are fake plants. The ones at the back are jungle plants normally used in terrariums and they came from a place called ESK Pets they were £4.99 each for the large ones The other plants came from pets at home i believe. I tend to shop around for them really. We did have real plants for some time but we never really got on to well with them and we got over run with snails so we went back to the fakes

Hey thanks for that i will contact him once i have desided on the design of the new hood. But he is in sheffield i am not sure he will want to travel all the way down here to Eastbourne

 

[DoyouWantsum]

You'll be amazed how far he's willing to travel.

I guess it would depend on if your both happy with the price.
