[mwm]

WOW! thats all i have to say im extremely Jelious! Im a huge gar fan i had a chance to get a few small gars a while back but i passed it up

Amazing, you really are a jammy sod these days aren't you.

I see the bichir bug has caught hold. They are very personable fish.

I shall definitely be taking a trip to shotgate come payday.

My luck had to change at some point!!

It has!! I would like the full set now..of the smaller species.

I think there so cute how they go up to there food put there nose down to it then just grab hold.

So you should there awesome, there's a few other places you can go to in the region (2-3 in Brentwood) but we didn't have the time plus I didn't have the dosh seeing as I was spending out £100 (plus bro's petrol) on me arowana.

Damn!! My silly tulip eel had jumped out thismorning/during the night sometime.

Found him behind the tank this morning thankfully still alive so put him back in the tank, but notived his coating was like my peacock eel's when he escaped and died after being put back in.

So put him in a poly box with water, melafic, streecoat and some airstones and the milky coating has gone now looking a lot better.

I'ved just freshened the water up, although in the middle he has a spot thats dried out.

The tullip eel was dead this morning

But today a customer brought in 2 large black ghost knife fish, the biggest being 8" and i thinkyou can all guess where that is now!!

Hmmm I'ved just realised the L204 is the flash plec so could someone ID my plec!!??

 

[Paul_MTS]

Found it, was L024 no 204

another update, since I'ved been doding as few sums, i'ved been kicking myself for not getting a Red Tail gold Aro instead......sooooo this week the guys to drive down to me and swap my green with a bit more dosh for a 8" RTG.

I decided to do it since i would be regreting it in the future.

Funny you should say that a 8x2x2 just sold on ebay for about £50 I passed it onto the minions thinking of martha, I don't think they had it though.

£50!!!!!

I just paid nearly a thousand for a 22" cube (including all SW equipment and LR, but still) I was undecided between marine and Malawi, so the 8 footer will be Malawi. See any more, let me know

Jon

That should of cost u about 100$. Someone ripped u off.

 

[Fishy411]

jesus! how big of a tank do u have. U have like 10 bichirs. a gar. appollo sharks and now an arrowana and BGK. U either have a huge tank or a lot of big tanks.

 

[fufanu360]

his tank is 200 uk gallon i believe


tulip eel

 

[Paul_MTS]

3 birchirs!! ones growing up in my 4ft at the moment (360l)

Yep 200 galons of oddball/catfishyness stocking!!

I might get rid of the apollo sharks once the cihclids start getting bigger I'm not too sure.



Really annoyed about the tullip eel as I can't even get a replacement easily.

 

[technium]

Sorry about your loss Paul

Thats always a problem with fish like that, my fire eel, spiney eel and lungfish are all escape artists and the tank lid has to be heavily weighted down.

hope you find a replacement soon.

Would like to go shopping where you do!

LR alone costs £14.50 per kilo 17k x £14.50 = £246, Tank/Cabinet/150w MH Light/Protien Skimmer/PH x2 /Mechanical Filter/RO Water/Salt/Sand/Master test kit/Rowaphos = £670

£246 + £670 = £916

Love to know where I could get that lot for $100, which is around £55

The really annoying thing is, that my lids wouldn't of let him get out but because i pushed 1 of the covers that bit to far the night before there was a gap in the middle for him to escape from I'ved never had a problem with my eels and birchirs so far.

I will hopefully have a rope fish aswell once the fish order comes in (3rd time lucky)

I'm going to start looking into the best material to make some covers out of, mine are just temps.

lol I would like to know of any SW set up for £55/$100 I would be well in there!!

 

[Paul_MTS]

Few more pics.

Just so i got my oscars best side....i took him twice!!

my plec with the TSn to his right-

my new BGK a customer brought in who is about 7-8inch

[jflowers]

LOL nice, his right side is his best IMO.
