lol. yeah that's me.

sold the aro a long time ago. it was getting too big for the 4 foot. difficult to keep anyway with young kids running around. the aro used to get startled and jump into the cover and lose scales. happened a few times.

unfortunately the previous tank was sold once the 6 foot was setup, could have done with that as a proper grow out tank. but i still have a 2 foot tropical tank. a nice safe place for the rocket to grow out a bit before he goes in with the big boys.

I think my stock level is about there now. maybe room for 1 or 2 more pieces. but have not made my mind up yet on what else to add.

yea that's a good practice :)
oh what a pity. 2footer still better then none haha.
are you going for a blue and yellow theme for this tank?

yeah..... it does seem that way at the moment, and i do like the blue and yellow look. There are 3 red fish in there but they are not so visible in the photos.

Thanks bro. The haps I'm keeping need plenty of open swimming space so I went easy on the rocks and tried to keep it natural looking.

Initially I was planning to get some realistic fake rocks but couldn't find any I liked, so I stuck with the real thing.
