I love unique fish. Do you remember what that one is? Unfortunately I wanted to start with some normal ones for the time-being, but will definitely be getting some unique ones in the near future.

Just wanna get these guys settled in first. I really like the Angelfish too! So harmonious and their mid level fish so they will hardly go to the bottom of the tank like many others.

It's called an elephant nose. It was around the $40 mark

Nice. How did it die? Old age?

When you say 'used to', I assume it died.

I used to have a 7ft native tank. Barra, Archerfish, a Saratoga, and a few other smaller fish. Twas awesome

[Adam]

Probably Neglect.

I'm not very good at fish tanks

Ah ok. Fair enough. Naughty boy.

[Adam]

Whoops!!

[Shaz]

Sold it all Garry!

Spewing. I'm on the lookout for some cheap tank accessories. I'm thinking a few natural-looking accessories and another plant or two to top things off and complete it.

Must've been a hell of a sneeze!

Eh, This forester gt is auto

Manual conversion?

[Cam.]

I could. May just see how the auto is

The price is right.

[Shaz]

Auto turbo is awesome Cam!

Stall converter + upgraded valve bodies for full boost shifts!

[Cam.]

The owner is bringing to my workshop tomorrow and is fully confident it's got no issues, I'll put it in the air and have a looksey + go for a drive.

Being a GT though, It needs a bigger turbo. I have a TD05 at work that needs a rebuild, Here we go again haha

Fish tanks are fun but just like cars turns into a very addictive and expensive hobby. Sold the last of mine a few months back at one stage I had two rooms and the garage full of tanks. But electricity just got to expensive to keep it running and make a bit of money on as I was breeding and selling to the LFS and other fishkeepers

Interesting Reevesy. I don't think I'd ever get that into it at all. I've got my 90L fish tank, and my small fish tank. My last out of two goldfish died last month and they were in the small tank. I emptied it and now it's just sitting downstairs in the laundry doing nothing. I was thinking of setting it up and getting some really small fish, something like these tetras:



Probably get about 10 of 'em as they school, mix it with some really bushy plants and they'll have a ball. They look amazing as well.

[Reevesy]

The tetras probably won't go real well with the stock list you posted previously. They will probably get eaten by the yellows or polystigma. They may be fine while everything is small but once a fish's mouth is big enough to fit something in it it will usually end up in it. I'm not saying it won't work as all fish are different. And I have had numerous fish in the same tank that supposedly couldn't live together.


You may find with only cycling the tank for the last week or two weeks the filter bacteria ( the good stuff crucial to keeping a tank healthy) would not have had a chance to grow enough and with the addition of the fish you mentioned may put a load on the filter so keep checking for the ammonia levels, which you will need to counteract with daily water changes.

Just re-read your post and noticed they are going in a seperate tank so ignore that first part of my last post

I will definitely do that man. The guy from the aquarium told me to do something similar, which is why he asked to get a sample of my water in the next few days so he could do a proper check up and ensure it's all going OK. So far so good though, they're happy swimming around and finding hiding spaces, ha ha.
