Hey guys,
pretty new to PCS but have had my first tank for 3 months now, so i thought i'd chuck up some pics.
bit of a mixed bag in there. have some electric yellows and blues, silver sharks, sailfin and albino pleco, bengas, jewel cichlids, bristlenoes, pulu points, clown loaches, a dragon blood peacock and another breed i cant remember the name of.

Comments welcome smile.gif

Also sorry about phone quality pics.
That 4th photo is when i first got my pleco, he's about 12cm now.. nothing huge but grown a fair bit.

Thanks for looking.
Ben

haha thanks mate..
yeah pretty stoked how it came out with all the colour, allthough it looks completely different without the plants :|
all the fish and the tank were purchased from malaga aquariums, couldnt reccommend them enough, very helpful with everything.

Thanks SJ, the tank is an aquaone 620T so 130 litres. Awesome size as its in my bedroom, wouldnt reaaaally want anything bigger haha.
Wouldnt mind getting a bigger tank down the track and having a saratoga grow in it.

But yeah, thats how it looks in the room.
Cheers

Ahhh yeah that's the one, completely forgot the name of them. Very cool little fish though, losing their spots and getting some stripes. Thanks everyone for the kind comments.. Aaaaand if ford were any good, they'd be on the quilt cover haha..

Now have some 6 bar frontosas and tretolocaphus chilling in the tank. Will get some pics up soon. They look awesome as they look completely different to all the other cichlids.
