Couple of shots for you...

My setup is pretty basic, an AquaOne AR920 (220ltrs I think) running @ 29degC with Discus (4), Bristlenose (4), Rummy Nose Tetras (3 left), Black Widow (3), Ghost/Glass Catfish (3), Peppermint Catfish (2), Koplo Loach (2), Congo Tetras (4), Torpedo Barbs (2) I do a water change every 2 weeks and keep the Ph @ 7.

nice deffs post a pic when you get your turtles

had a couple of barra before.

they are easy to get form pet stores and even easier to keep. fresh water simple fillers.

only problem is they grow really fast and will fight with each other and eat any other fish in the tank.

they also become expencive to feed. (some will only eat livies)

a lot of fun to watch though.

pm me it ya want some more info.

Burbler that is a great looking set up as is yours Nugget.

I have 2 tanks running atm, a 3ft one with 5 Bass, 2 Sucking Cats, 1 Tandanus Cat and a heap of mosquito fish.

I was told that the Bass are pretty slow growing but they have doubled in size in the almost 2 months I have had them

The other is a 6ft tank which is currently empty I am planning on putting some larger Bass in this one.

Both are pretty basic set ups and are easy to look after.

stevep84 · #13 26-03-2011, 03:55 AM

That is an awesome looking set up. Puts my 2 to shame.

Haha

rawso · #14 26-03-2011, 04:07 AM

I had 2 bass and a barra until my barra ate the bass. I got the barra when it was about 5 cm and the bass 8-10 and then the barra got big and by by bass.

Yeah thats what i dont want, i had some golden perch in the 6 footer but 2 were eaten and one was starved/stressed to death by my cod, which ended up getting killed by the yabby. lol
