The revamped tank looks fab.
But you wait till those clowns grow a bit more, then they'll start doing their own aquascaping!!!
It is great to see the clowns having so much fun btw, and I find it interesting that the other species are joining in the loachy dance with them. I've seen no such interactions with my Emperors and clowns.
I reckon the customer that bought some of those clowns in would be so pleased to know that they have gone to such a wonderful home.

Yes - there is a breeding pair in there.
Thanks Emma, the histies already do plenty of digging and landscaping as it is
Its an amazing sight to see the 4 histies, 6 emperors and 6 clowns all swimming together
It would be nice for them to see the vids to see the tank they are in and how well they have settled

It looks as though they are following you, not the other way round....

Wow, that's a big tank! Do you do scuba-diving in it?
Happy fish too!
Well done!

Awesome! Totally awesome Mad Duff!
Those clowns look really happy and healthy and active. I really like those Histies. They have fabulous markings. Are they pure or hybrids? I saw a couple of Bala Sharks how many of them have you got in there?

The Botia histrionica are wild caught fish from the Ataran River
There are 5 Bala's in there, I actually wasnt going to bother with Bala's but someone I know wanted them rehoming.

The Loach that lands on the other Loach is a Botia histrionica and the Loach getting landed on is an Emperor Botia

Nice flowing motion there, Mark.
How big is your big girl clown? She looks like a mini-Marge.
