big Graeme that lep was in with the rubidipnnis and the only one so i had to get it as well as the rest of the fish in the pics.
i'm going to sell a lot of my cory's to make more room for the asian fish.
i'll only keep the corys that i like best.
thanks everyone for the kind comments it's made my spending so much more worth it.
cheers

helen so far ive got 34 tanks of different sizes but ive got another 5 to set up once i arrange the room to accomodate them, then i can go for some more fish.
huh, and kids worry about having just one wart how would they feel if they had a boatrace like the Garra's.

Do you have a selection of eels in there? They are gorgeous. What are they? Did you post them before?
I am abslutely in awe. You guys have to watch posting pictures of all your gorgeous fish. All of us fish deprived people, will start including your homes in our UK tours. I am due for a trip back to Europe in the next year.

thanks again lads.
gravybrain sorry for buying nearly all the maepiensis, niel was on the bell to a lad who wanted some in my defence i did allow him to have two plus piggy4 has 6 of me so i did'nt keep them all.
niels reordering them again soon.
they are beautiful mate with a cracking temperament.
i already had a few emperors from the last time he had some in, those that you saw Niel had ordered especially for Ashleigh.
the next shipment won't be long mate, a couple of weeks at the most.
yipeeee
