Got a couple of photos...they guys eat a few market prawns per day.

hi! I'm from Australia and I'm new to loaches (and this forum). What I basically would like are some really cool, rare (or rarer) and unqiue loaches, ones that most aquarists would not have.

Well said..i always see my big clowns do that on a daily basis and i can be watching them doing that for hours.

Those giant ones can actually push rocks away and do their own aquascaping..

how warm is your tank? assuming its nice and warm for the clowns, those goldfish must grow quickly! do you breed them especially for the arowana? Good question! My tank is always on the low 30s...but for some reason, the goldfish survives...and yes, they do grow super fast. I buy them for my arowan...

Ammonia 0 and nitrite 0 Nitrate, didn't get the testkit. With weekly water changes, i dont think it is necessary. Plus, it is quite hard to get nitrate testkits here and they dont come cheap.
