Pics Of My Two Tanks

[Wills]

Hi, just an update on my two tanks In picture format - points to the person who can identify my new catfish

This is the 240 at the moment - its getting bigger in a few months which will time nicely with the growth rates of the Geos I reckon

And here are some pics of my catfish I have named him Bumble - I am fully aware of what he is but lets see if anyone can guess what he is and what kind of care he will need in the future Had him about 6 weeks now and he has just finally started to eat properly!! I am over the moon as he is a great great looking fish

This is the 35 nano which will also get bigger in the next few months - again heavy stock at present but doing well with my regime again its going to get bigger with bigger schools sitting really close to the other tank and should be a nice contrast when its all done

hope you enjoy

Wills your tanks and fish are stunning mate

As for the cat, not got a clue. The Maidenhead I go to has a huge display tank with a very similar looking fish and it's about 2 foot long.

That 240 is amazing to say the very least!

Very jealous!!

Where do you get your wood from?

Very impressed, love your fish.
Is your catfish a close member of the shark family?

Is your catfish a "Pangasius", Diet=It's omnivorous, but is primarily a meat-eater. In nature adults are known to be particularly fond of whole dog carcasses!

Stunning. the Geos have really coloured up. Was i right with the ID i gave you to start with? To me it still looks like that but i dont want to give it away.

thanks guys

The catfish is actually Ageneiosus cf. atronasus - though it was labeled as Ageneiosus sp. Blue so not 100% but I am going to guess about 5 inches at adult size so he has probs got a bit of growing left to do About 3 inches now but starting to get nice and fat. I love him because he looks a bit like a Gulper Catfish and will do more so when he starts to get fat which is one of my favorite fish but I will never realistically be able to house one so this is a great second hence why I gave him the name I wanted for a Gulper which is Bumble

Euston - the wood was a lucky find on Aquarist Classifieids a guy not far from my house was closing a 7 foot discus tank down and I got about 10 large pieces of twisty wood for £40!! The rest are just odd bits I have got from a few shops, usually when I get fish its after pay day so I get a big group at once and usually fish shop owners will give you a ton of free stuff once the bill starts to hit £100

Thanks again guys

very much like both of these.

smaller tank doesn't look overstoked. What have you got in there? Celestial pearls and some kind of killi?

Thanks

the 35 has

2 Tiger Badis
5 Galaxies
6 Rosy Loaches
3 Horned Nerite Snails

pretty heavy IMO but they are all tiny at the moment no where near even half an inch in most cases no water quality issues though really
