Rainmaker 7 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Good timing on this thread As of this week, I have 3 veil tails (VT), 3 plakats (PK) and two vt females. They are Cambodian, green, blue and red in varying degrees, and I also have a turquoise. I'm currently sourcing some proper 5* PKs from Thailand too This little guy is also on order (waiting for a nip in his dorsal fin to heal before I get him): And one that arrived today: I'm checking out some females as we speak also, but will probably save the cash back for decent 5* PKs (both sexes).

Richie10 345 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi, Used to keep Siamese Tiger Fish, stingrays and Peacock Bass, until my tank burst. I was one of a small group of people that had the Pulcher species in the country. Until my 320 gallon tank burst.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice fish mate is that a HM of sorts at the top? Love the PK types myself look like proper fighters. Iv just bought a few new ones a red female PK, Dragon male PK (import) and a Melano Male PK (import) Hi, Used to keep Siamese Tiger Fish, stingrays and Peacock Bass, until my tank burst. I was one of a small group of people that had the Pulcher species in the country. Until my 320 gallon tank burst.... That sucks mate bet it was a hell of a mess!. I lost all of my pairs of gouramis (all sorts of breeding pairs. Reds, golds, blues, lace, chocolate, honey, dwarfs etc.) That was only about 100 or so gallons worth and destroyed my big sub speakers for the tele and the tele stand rugs etc. Took hours to clean. 350 must of taken days....

Malt 379 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 You have/had any yourself maltenby? ATB Jordan No mate. My Uncle had a tropical tank when he was a kid, and one of my best mates has had all sorts, from fighters to sharks, to aquatic toads. My dad's old mooching partner used to have a huge marine tank too, with loads of small fish, prawns, crabs, etc, taken from the local beaches/rock pools. I took him a baby octopus we found when shrimping, along with a few shrimps and baby flatties. He was made up with it at the time, but I seen him a few months later and he told me that it had all but eaten all the prawns, shrimps and crabs! oops! I may get myself an aquarium at some point in the future, never say never. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordKil 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Lol that happened with my folks fish tank but their angelfish ate all the guppies and their fry. Exactly never say never mate ATB Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well my girlfriend is buying me a few from Atison bettas. A 5* conditioned fighter, a few plakats (steel blue male and opaque female) and a wild imbellis male and thats just over 50 quid with the postage (i think my maths aint great and its all in dollars so im not sure what its equal to these days) They're some quality fish and the fighter has fought several times and is in mint condition with a 100% winning record could be interesting ATB Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlefish 585 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Some nice fish there. Isn't it amazing the number of people who keep fish? Nature up close in your living room! Does anyone keep pond fish? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
