These were taken on Friday night, they are all getting quite tubby these days. In the last one you can see my biggest Modesta who likes to dance with the Clowns. http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/DSC00390_zps3537ccdb.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/DSC00383_zps42367...

Thanks peeps, I would love to get a bigger tank but can't seem to make space for it, too many children in the house...

does that big gourami type fish have a name ?!! Really nice looking fish (I liked it when he followed your finger.... what does he do to it when you put your finger in the tank with him/her?) Yep, looks like it is time for a bigger tank!!!!! The Giant Gourami has been named Bubba by the kids, he wi...

Cheers, the Gourami is very big now. There are 15 Clowns in there still.

Hi all,

Here's a recent clip of my tank, my fish are getting quite large these days. I might have to upgrade

Ah, I remember catching these in the local stream as a boy. I haven't seen one for years!!! I do remember the stream being very shallow, probably only six inches deep & quite fast moving. The bigger one's were often found alone under large rocks, only the smaller one's would group together. Have you...

Thanks for the link Emilymarie, I don't remember that being there when I first read that page!! Clownloachsharky, I did get them altogether but from someone who had bought them all individually from stores. Redshark1, that is interesting. I had thought it could be a result of the captive breeding pr...

I managed to get some pictures of my small clowns earlier whilst cleaning my tank, they have unusual markings. Has anyone else got clowns with strange markings? I would love to see pic's? I have never seen a large clown with strange markings, is this just me? Please excuse the dirty glass and water....

Here are some pics of my two biggest blues fighting for dominance. http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/IMG_2633.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/IMG_2639.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/IMG_2638.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/IM...

My two biggest modesta have been at the front of my tank fighting for the past two hours. I hardly ever see them, so this has been a rare treat. They are both around 6" and very fat, I think the slightly smaller one decided it was time to take over and she seemed to be getting the better of her bigg...

That is absolutely gorgeous, really classy look to the tank and I'm sure your little friends will love it in there. Please keep the photo's coming?

Well done mate!!!

Thanks for the comments & tip Redshark1, I had a go at a new video last night: -

It's a darkish brown sand, I bought it from my local Maidenhead Aquatics a few years back. Sorry I can't remember the name of the brand.

Huge tank. It's propably just the snap, seems to be there a lot of light. You must be crazy to the clown loaches with this amount, I have got just 4. :wink: You also need to rebuild the tank, missing caves, shellters. :wink:[/quote] Hi, It isn't that bright in there, the clowns are all very happy & ...
