Lookin good matey!

What fish will you be stocking it with? Lethrinops? LMAO!

[Robbotheyobbo]

No Lethrinops BIG Kev, im putting in 10 6 bar frontosa 3-5cm, 5 petracola 3-5cm, 1 goldspot pleco 15cm and a red pleco 12cm (ive been told is a type of albino), i have all fish in other tanks already and filters are running other tanks aswell.

tank looks great robbo.
watch out with the amount of wood you put in the tank
bacause it lowers ph drematically.

cheers,
phil

[Robbotheyobbo]

Thanks Phil, only 2 small bits of wood in the back corners to hide filter pipes and heater mate

Rofl??

Nice tank looks much better. Really makes the fish stand out

[smellsfishy]

yes great set up great fish, to bad fronnies are more common now there price has dropped dramacticly.
still amazing display fish though.
well done.

[Robbotheyobbo]

thanks for the nice comments guys and girls, yeah the price of fronties has come down alot, thats a good thing for people love fronties or want to get some for the first time, there is still some people out there that still want a million dollars for them though

that's sexual

hey jason, im not sure if to laugh or be REALLY worried at this comment

[smellsfishy]

yeah, when i bought my pair 3.5 years ago i paid $55 each for 4cm ones, now from the same store i can get 8cm for $20.
hopefully this will attract more people into the hobby, bunbury lacks aquarists.
