Sounds a bit fishy to me

Thought you might like to see our fish, tank is a bit sparse at the moment as most plants have been eaten but gave us a chance to catch them on camera without them hiding...

This is our Goby, we did have 2 but they didn't get on, so the other one was bullied to death





Then we have 4 Pleco's, 2 of which you can see in this pic, sitting at the bottom




There is an Albino Pleco hiding in this one, you can just see his head.




Two Shubunkins





Two fancy tailed goldfish and two black moors



Thats the best we could get, little sods will keep moving!!!!

I cant work out, is your tank tropical or cold water?

Im an avid fish breeder myself and I see Dwarf Hoplos in there (I have some too) and I didnt know they could survive in cold water.

I recently aqquired some great new additions to may many fish tanks.

I predatory fish, Senegal Bichers, they are great, grow a couple of foot long though...

They were supposed to be trimming down my fish population, well, the fish that breed inssesently anyway, its not working though... lol

Would love to see some pics of your fish, we were only supposed to be having 2 goldfish

Lovely fish, we've got this huge tank at home but only about 4 fish

They are coldwater Plecostomos or "plecos's" a type of catfish, algae eaters, they are mainly tropical but there are also coldwater varieties, we have 4 all together 3 black/brown spotted and 1 albino, they were tiny when we got them and they can grow up to a foot or more

They are very peaceful and eat all the slimey stuff (technical term) they are my favourite out of what we have.

Oooo its that one picture with the 2 big goldfish in that had me...

They look practically identical when they are that size, especially from the front.

They are great algae eaters, we had lots of Ottocinclus at one point to help our Algae problem, the one reason we didnt get common plecs are they grow flaming HUGE. lol

We have a big Algae problem in our main 'show' tank because we have a fast moving filter as it is a large tank and we have Natural Plants too.

We got some African Loachs at once point, as they are excellent algae eaters but they are very nasty... Untill I put them in with my Senegal Bichers, now they hide all the time or they will get taught a lesson about whos in charge! lol

I get pics tonight, if I get time as Jess puppy is coming home too.
