My tank broke about a year ago and as we were planning to move I decided to re-home my fish including 3 5inch clown fish which are quite hard to keep. What a nightmare. The guy who had them (free) got the 3rd degree poor chap. We still don't have a new tank and I miss them. I can't find the pix at the mo, will look later.

Yes, it was always my dream to go into marine fish - not sure I'd have the energy for all the water quality checks these days. I do find myself transfixed by the lionfish and the invert tanks (with octopuses :wub: ) in our incredible local aquatics centre, the Goldfish Bowl in Cowley.

My inlaws are ghastly in a different way (still not forgiven them for the way they treated their 17yr old cat with liver failure, wouldn't take it to vet or let in house despite sub-zero temps :angry: Eventually managed to give her a couple of happy, warm weeks before she was pts ) I suppose to be fair it was my sister-in-law, who refused to visit them if the cat had been in the house, that caused the problem :angry:

The marine set ups are stunning aren't they but i agree could not cope with the extra problems and hard work involved! :sweating:

I find buying fish quite addictive actually but me and Harry fall out quite often as we can never agree which ones to buy!! :angry:

OH YEAH some good news we have 3 baby Dalmatian Mollies!!!!! God knows how many were eaten in the night but have found 3 today and now have their own little "tank" so avoid being eaten by their parents!!!! So my fish quantity has now doubled overnight!!

Errrr they were fresh water clowns not salt............sorry! Still can't find pix. Marine is just a bit to complicated. We now have a house which is on the edge of the fens near King's Lynn. It had to be built on a raft cos the clay. We have chipboard not solid floors and OH is worried about the disaster if we got another leak!! Several gallons of water would be a nightmare. :- " One day thou....

You probably need separate tanks! Funny how I always got the impression that it was mainly a bloke thing :- " Never known anyone of my own gender who's kept fish, till now! (w00t) Does he like huge catfish his by any chance?

I'd forgotten about mollies and platys - still remember the first little baby platys I had :wub:

BTW fantastic photos, what stunning fish have you any more photos?? What size is your tank?( perhaps we need a fishkeeping forum soon!!!!!)

Gina I have 3 tanks ... but am finding it hard keeping up with them since Oscar came and K9

My biggest one is a 45 gallon tank which I was given (lady whose hubby had died) she knew I had fish... came complete with 1 Silver Dollar, that large catfish and 1 very large Kissing gourami which died not long after. What a job we had moving it into out house - fish in drums overnight etc etc. Anyway my other two are smaller 1 -3ft x 15x12 with gourami , tetras and black widows, and a smaller one with cold water fish. Ive kept them since my teens but they are hard work and I dont think people realise this till theyve took them on.

They dont look after themselves like some people would tend to belive.

Anyway my large tank still is empty at the moment - I must get round to restocking it :unsure: sometime

Think I have some more photos somewhere .....

Eeeeeeee I hope K9'ers dont mind - this being General Discussion Italian Greyhounds :lol: :lol: :lol:
