Looks pretty good!
I've always wanted to have some flagtail cats in an aquarium, but I can never find any for sale.
Thanks,
I only found them once in my lfs, haven't seen them again since, I think they are quite rare in the trade. Apparently they're quite sensitive and need the right water params but mine have been fine (touchwood).
Great fish choices. I have 4 flagtails and 2 regular portholes and they are a great group. How many do you have?
Love the senny, too.
Cool, I have 2 flagtails and 1 porthole, they were the last ones left in the shop and I agreed to takr the porthole as well as I knew it would hang around with the flagtails. It must have been sent to the shop by mistake with the flagtails.
I'm sure I've asked you this before George but where do you get your fish from?
Is it that garden centre on the same side of the road as you?
I'm thinking along the same lines as you - restocking one of my tanks in the near future without just purchasing fish to fill a gap.
The trouble is my LFS has the same fish week in, week out - except for the odd occasion.
Recently I picked up some fantastic chocolate gourami, but that's about as unusual as it gets with that place!
PS: the flagtails look fantastic
I've sent you a PM about the lfs I get my fish from. It's an ok fish shop that apparently specialises in unusual fish but the unusual fish are all arowanas, knife fish, bichirs, stingrays, big cats etc which don't fit in my tanks as the 30g is the biggest. Occassionally something interesting comes along but it is only the angel and the cats that came from my lfs. The senny I got from The-Wolf last year (although my lfs sells nice large sennys), the male BN came from the fish shop The-Wolf used to work at (as adult BNs are very hard to find) and the female was recently sent to me by littleme1969.
One of my biggest regrets is not buying the shoal of fully grown Congo tetras I saw in my lfs, they had been in the large display tank and I always wished they were for sale and when they switched the stocking around they did put them up for sale. I saw them but thought "I'll leave it til next time". Next time they were gone. I was mortified as that was a one off find.
The trouble with having a full grown senegal in my tank is the all my fish have to be bought pretty much fully grown which is hard as LFSs like to keep juveniles all the time.
