Hi guys,

Been involved in a few forums for a while now but just got into fish so thought I'd better find a decent forum. This seems the best I've come accross and even better that it's Australian!

My first ever tank (will try and get some pics up) has been an idea of mine for a while but have only just managd to make it happen. I've decorated it with Bundy Rum bottles, polar bears etc and it sits proudly in my bar.

Fish are -

2 Red Tail Sharks
2 Siler Sharks
2 Gold Gouramis
2 Pearl Gouramis
2 Gouramis (Can't remeber what type they are but they're red and blue striped)
1 x Flying Fox
2 Clown Loaches

All are getting along well. The Red Tails fought a bit to start with but have found their respective 'homes' now. Silver Sharks and Clown Loaches are my faves.

Was originally just supposed to be a feature in my bar but has now taken over my life. I love my tank and can't wait to get a cichlid tank going.

Welcome Bundy!!

Glad there is another lover of the greatest rum on the planet!!! Be careful with those sharks mate, they love to suck the slime coat off of your other fish, and slime coat = immune system, so just keep an eye out for that :) And when you want to start a cichlid tank don't hesitate to ask for help, as myself and a few other's on here have plenty of experiance with them.

Haha, yeah cheers mate. I actually have the bear tattooed on me. But that's a nother story.

Which Sharks mate the Red Tails?
They seem to be steering well clear of the others. When I bought them the woman told me that people suggest only having one red tail but said that she had 6 in her tank with no dramas.
