Does any one keep...?

some real beauties there jordkil,must admit though i prefer the bigger stuff i am toying with the idea of frontosas in my 480 ltr tank and moving my discus into something a bit smaller.out of interset how much would a decent imported fighter set you back

 

 

Well Iv just bought a heap of top quality fighters from thailand. Theres males (two of which are 5* fighting plakats with a 99% winning record ) one of them is a wild type (imbellis) and then just a black plakat. Also 4 females one wild type again and the rest are HM genos and plakats. All together with shipping it was short of £ but should be worth it.

Johnrthrfrd I do like marines was looking at this 128 litre 'plug and play' tank with everything you need to start up is it hard to get it all set up and ready with live rock and such?

I once put one in with some fan tailed guppys, it really made a mess of them, could'nt believe the damage it could do in such a short time.

I've recently got 2 male and 1 female 5* Pk's and got another 5 males coming next week from a few different lines

I've been keeping fish since about January, in that time I've had 3 gourami's 1 died after 2 days in the tank (It was cycled) the other 2 got stuck in the same hole in a tiny ornament and died, I have 2 cardinal tetras, 2 red tail sharks and a cory at this stage, had 4 tetras but the sharks which are actually cat fish ate 2, looking in to getting an albino shark or 2 in the future.

Good luck with them, what size of tank are they in and what sort of filteration are you using? I find that if you don't change too much water too often and don't over feed them and don't over crowd them that they do better. Also a lump of tufa rock in a freshwater set up (the type usually used in marine tanks) helps to stabilize the ph leading to a better environment for them to thrive. I feed mine 3-4 times a week and change 30% of water about once every 4-6 weeks. I have 6 congo tetras, 3 goldfish and one ancistrus (for housekeeping duties) in a 4 foot tank with undergravel filtration.

if the're Pangasius dont be surprised if the rest of your fish go the same way

I wont, but then I'll be fit to get some albino sharks, I prefer the bigger fish anyway, find they are easier to feed and keep alive.
