Sorry its taken a bit long, been a tad hectic here at home.

Here are the pic's of the tank so far. Plants etc are on order, and need to add in some more rock work etc but so far things are going ok :) Fish settled in well and I have my dithers on order to arrive next week :D Still have S.pridii and some other Nemacheilus to add but so far stock is N.longistriatus, S.octozoa and Y.cruciatus .

Theres also an Osteochilus sp that Neil picked out as an extra in amongst the fish he got in. Pic's are below if anyone can id :) Id make a stubid guess at microcephalus but yea :) experts please ;)

Hey Ash , Nice to see you are getting the tanks up and running .
How are the Uaru ?
The longistriatus are looking well :D
I like the serpenticobits they will like the tank I bet.
What is going in the tank upper half?

Hey Neil,

Yep tank setups are keeping my mind off everything else going on here at the moment, its nice to have something to do.

Upper half will have the Devario i got from yours, Devario pathirana and Danio feegradei

Also getting Crossocheilus langei, Crossocheilus nigriloba and male and female of Rhinogobius candidianus hopefully.

Do you still have any of the lacerdai left??? I kind want more :) nice little buggers.

Hey Neil,

Can you keep me some lacerdai??? Like maybe another 3/4 girls and 1/2 lads :) Trying to get worked out when Im coming over but with all this silly stuff at home going on it might be the 21st/22nd, I hope that date anyway! Might trail pappa over... he has been quite interested in you since the thing in the paper about the rays he found, must have been a good couple of years ago!

Also I want more uaru, two more pairs ;) pleaseeeee. Don't have to be at the same time but I love them, I want more :D

What other sp are you getting in?? Any nice dithers for a 6ft perhaps? ;)
Oh and P.sahyadrensis at some stage :) perhaps I should just email you a list lol.

Interested in seeing this pic ;)

Ash

With regards the Osteocheilus, does the black line extend into the caudal fin at all or does it stop at the peduncle? If it extends into the caudal I'd opt for O.waandersii, if not then it only really leaves O.microcephalus as the closest fit to my eyes.. Could be wrong though :lol:
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

Pretty much done... just need to leave it to it and let it get nice and over grown and messy. Bits and bobs will probably be added as time goes on but for the most part... yea :)

Dithers arrive Wed, pic of them will follow :)
