No but I have been watching a lot of river monsters now and I find it quite interesting.

In that tank there is an electric yellow, a red tailed black shark and a serpai tetra

Tetras are schooling fish and should therefore be kept in a group of at least 5 or 6
That tank is too small for the fish that are in it
Red tailed black sharks are very aggressive fish and grow up to 12cms which is way to big for the tank
Electric yellows grow to 10cms which is also to big for the tank
These fish are active swimmers and need more space to be able to swim around
The fish in that tank just aren't really a good match and this person wants to ad more fish to it

Electric yellows can survive in a temperature of 22-28°C

Thanks Angelo, your YouTube channels look good.

Yes they are real mussels, I leave the lights on most of the day but I'm fine with the algae in the shrimp tank as I personally like the way it looks and the shrimp eat the algae as well as the snails. In the convict tank there isn't really very much algae except on the rocks which I think makes it blend well with the sand, so algae isn't really a problem.

Hey guys here's some pictures of my tanks (except the panchax tank because I'm not happy with the way it looks so you don't get to see it). Hope you like them.

My convict wouldn't come out for a picture so I used my profile picture and immediately after she was out and about swimming around

My African lake Malawi tank in progress (is being cycled with small fish atm) has lime stone rocks that I went out and found, and I chucked in some jungle vals that have been growing in a pond. I want to add some hair grass in front of the vals and off to the side a bit and I also want to add some flame moss growing over the rocks, hopefully the Africans won't ruin it to much, Lol.

P.s. Thanks for all the replies, it really made me feel welcome.

Hey guys, just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am 14 and have been keeping fish since I was ten but have grown up around people with fish my whole life (mum, dad, Aunty, uncle, uncle, granny etc. and I am currently the only one with fish apart from my dad), my tanks include 3 smallish desktop tanks on a desk dedicated to fish tanks (there's no room for anything else), these include a convict, shrimp and panchax tank, I also have a 70L community aquarium housing fish such as guppies, neons, cories, Angels (not permanent (will eventually go in my dads 8ft tank)), golden shark, snails, danios etc. and a 4ft 600L tank which is being set up as an African lake Malawi tank. I have created a website called Bailey's fish files (baileysfishfiles.weebly.com) and it is still in the making (if you visit it - it will get better, it's not been around long). I dedicate most of my free time outside of school working on my fishtanks and researching fish. Fish keeping is my passion and the longer I keep fish the more it takes over in my life (half my room is full of fish stuff, and 4/5 tanks are in my room as well as All of my time and money is spent on my fish and it is my dream to one day open an aquarium store)

I joined Perth cichlid society forums in hope to make new friends and learn as much as possible, I also would like to go to the next meeting if my mum will let me (8pm on a school night all the way in Perth 😬) and hopefully many more to follow.
