    Give a man a fish, he'll eat it and fall asleep.

    Teach a man to fish and he'll endanger an entire species

    Mate that is the most impressive native tank I would ever expect to see. The fish behaviour confirms to me that you know what you are doing, I would say they are freely breeding right now judging from all the courtship and territory displaying going on in there. I used to collect all those species with my brother... Rainbow, gudgeons, honey blue eyes.... But the only non native I saw is the bristle nose Cattie, but that's ok every tank needs a good vaccume cleaner! Now all you need is a jack to terrorise what you have, and I could happily come over and fish.... In your tank! Well done, simply stunning!

    Well that settles it.... I'm gettin another tank. Thanx RR. What's the small plants covering the floor called. It looks awesome
    That's a nice fish you caught... Do you mind if I use it for bait.

    Stunning… thanks for the share. I am waiting to place fish in my 4ft again and you have inspired me to look at natives. I may have a bunch of questions if you don't mind me bugging you.
