I’m trying to devise a biotope aquarium featuring African ciclids (not great lakes cichlids though) – maybe Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi, a couple elephant nosed fish and some barbs. The whole thing will be full of anubias, bogwood, and maybe lillies. So what barbs are appropriate. I’m having trouble finding species, but I can order some. Can […]

I read the link provided in the previous post about figure of eight puffers, and it inspired me to have a go with them. They seem to be shoaling around their tank (no tankmates ) and look great. I’ve always liked little fish, but these ones are really special. Now, just keep my fingers crossed […]
