Hi Martin,

Fantastic video, it is always fun to watch a river tank :-)

LES..

Glorious stuff Graeme!

These are the latest inhabitants of my river tank: Four Annamia normani : http://lh3.google.co.uk/image/dienyddio/RkXhZ9EC8pI/AAAAAAAAATQ/K_sOYPkRMWw/s800/IMG_1090.JPG http://lh4.google.co.uk/image/dienyddio/RkXhbNEC8qI/AAAAAAAAATY/D8MuA3HcshA/s800/IMG_1093.JPG These are lovely fish, active and frie...

An excellent meet! It is always a pleasure to meet up with everyone from the forum and just geek out on the fish :-) I have been meaning to post earlier but was too busy sorting out all the fish last night and this morning i got very distracted spending a few hours just watching the new fish in the ...

Excellent video Les. Is breeding these guys starting to feel like falling off a bike yet? That male is a particularly nice fish by the way. Well we have not seen much in the way of fry recently and this is the first spawning we have seen in the new tank. The male is actually one of the first two Ch...

Sounds like it will be a great tank Mark :-) We will be expecting pictures you realise!

Thank you all for the coments, I am very pleased with the way the tank ans turned out. The new tank is definitely a hit with the Cheni just take a look at this full on loach-on-loach spawning video ! The quality is a little crappy, i was grabbing the feed remotely from the web cam and didn't have th...

Well it was asked for... a particularly poor video showing the plants moving.

If i can get the web cam working properly i might even post a link to a live feed!

Hi Jannie, See the little red line: http://lh3.google.co.uk/image/dienyddio/Rj9dVdEC8nI/AAAAAAAAASs/nAYV2buA0JE/s800/stream.jpg This is supposed to represent a sheet of plastic or some other material that you can drill so that you can poke through outflow from the pump leaving the intake on the othe...

Good to see another addict! Martin is spot on with the first problem, back flow behind the partition, you could solve this by routing the outflows from the pumps through a solid partition. The second issue you will be fighting is the lack of a concentrated outflow, all the flow will be diffused acro...

You'll have to take some more vids so that we can see them swaying about in the strong current. I am in the process of getting a sensible stream from the web cam but in the mean time you can see what the fish make of the current . http://lh4.google.co.uk/image/dienyddio/Rj8b3tEC8gI/AAAAAAAAARs/KGwX...

Just one new image of the tank today. http://lh6.google.co.uk/image/dienyddio/Rjxj09EC8fI/AAAAAAAAARQ/8AKoyGBxvfU/s800/tank_stitch2.jpg A bit of an odd mix of plants at the moment, a number of them are just temporary to get them growing before adding to the old tank for the goldfish to destroy. Havi...

Very nice looking fish, from what i can see it looks like that one has quite a brightly coloured dorsal fin which is always nice to see :-) The behaviour sounds spot on for Cheni too, an entertaining fish, ours always seem to have something going on be it foraging for food, leaf surfing or playing k...

Argh! *Ahem* Thank you for the information Graeme, Susan will be glad to hear that Puntius gelius are off the list of options. Those Inlecypris auropurpurea are just stunning, i am incredibly lucky to have access to such experienced fish keepers who can provide pointers on all the beautiful fish tha...

Thank you for all the kind comments it means a lot to me :-) Have you and Susan decided on dithers yet? Not as yet, what do you have in stock? ;-) I still like the Puntius gelius but Susan is not at all keen on them, i have just found a picture posted by Graeme of one his, maybe that will swing it b...
