Well this is mine:
It's 6ft x 2ft x 18" and is home to one 8" red Oscar, one 6-7" vieja/chuco intermedium, two clown loaches, two raphael talking catfish, three convict cichlids (were supposed to be all female but turns out one's actually a male, so he'll have to pop off to someone else before they start breeding) and my huge new 14" sailfin called Hawkins.
Some piccies - some are old, but just to show you it's residents - the flash drains the colours though so it's not really that accurate:
NoName the oscar (been up for rehoming for a while now but no interest other than teenage timewasters!)
Charlie the intermedium
Hawkins the sailfin/gibby
The talking cats (old pic from their old tank)
Cant find any clown loach piccies. Shall have to see if I can get some. *edited to add - found this one of them raiding Charlie's hidey hole - and him looking suitably unimpressed*
And here's my hubby's new tank - 6ft x 2ft x 2ft community/planted tank with angels in it too:
One of my marbled/koi angels - we have 6 anegls in there, 3 of which are koi/marbled, lord knows what the others are. And the koi/marbled id was just my guess!
And my new plec (Rusty plec aka Violet Plec aka Bruno Plec - L077) who's too tiny to go in my tank and wont be able to for probably over a year, but I had to get him:
So hubby's growing him on for me. Other residents of hubby's tank are guppies, glowlights, black widows, various cories, two whiptails, dwarf gouramis, erm.....zebra danios....*strains eyes looking across the room at tank*....couple of neons....that's about it I think. Very very understocked but the planting makes up for that - and it also means he can pick up a fish now and again without worrying about over stocking it.
We did have a 4ft planted tank (showed pics before?) - my Ebay bargain. Well that Ebay bargain decided that it was going to crack in the base, luckily it didn't leak and we only noticed it when we moved the contents into hubby's tank. Vision 180 started off as a malawi tank, and was sold today. So we're sticking with one 6ft each. I wont be adding to mine for a bit, as I said, the male convict will have to go otherwise it'lll kill my other fish when it breeds, and my oscar's moving on too. If anyone's interested, and has a very large tank (4ft x 2ft x 2ft minimum for him on his own - bigger with company), then let me know. He's staying put til he finds a perfect new home though - there's no hurry

No one else is allowed them, only us! lol
) is available in the UK, but it's pretty easy to DIY one, and they make waterchanges much faster and easier. Maybe something worth looking into?
