Haha, you never know, We'll have to wait and see. And yes you have to sit and appreciate your fish, like right now im at my dining room table looking at my 240L Fluval Roma, and i can See my Gold nugget pleco (absolutely Beautiful) has a slightly sunken in belly, i also noticed this earlier, but i wouldnt have if i didnt concentrate, I've got the treatment and its in there now, and im quite sure that when i bought him from the lfs he was a bit skinny, but nothing to be concerned about at the time,

I have learnt my lesson, and i wouldnt have noticed if i didnt watch the tank every now and then, I really do like sitting here on my laptop doing other things and glancing over and seeing their mesmerizing behaviour, and i have a good 100+ bristlenose babies scuttleing around the tank, and since i was 7 i always wanted my plecos to have babies and finally in this new setup i have acomplished this goal =]

Now to marine tanks...

It's great that you've pursued your dreams and accomplished them. If you weren't in the UK, I'd gladly take some of the bristlenose fry off of your hands. Haha!! Are you going to transfer this tank into a marine? And if so, what's to do with all the fish? *raises hand* MEEEE!!!

Hehe, well i've tried asking friends and local family if they wanted my fish, especially the rare plecos but no-one has the nerve to look after the beauties haha,

i may end up having to sell back to store for 1/3 value to use as credit for marine stuff, which although is good, isnt much when you think they were £50 each and ill only get £16.60 each =[

Thats nothing, But they know me in there very well so maybe they'll give me more, they already reduce stuff for me, like knocking a few pounds off here and there to round it off, Its all good =]

The babies i'm going to keep (along with breeding parents) in my smaller 160l tank in my room, this will be great if it works out:

Plecos have around 100 eggs a month if not more, and... each baby is worth about £2.50 (1/3 value they're sold at) so lets say all 100 babies make it and i sell them all.... thats £250 quid when theyre grown up... In a month or two, that should easily pay for my marine tank setup.

Sorry i've kinda taken over this post haha,
