Agreed, and the only reason I'm not on Bulbagarden is because the computer I'm stuck with for hopefully just a bit longer has c----y Internet speed.

Just a bit, lol
Its cos i did a two year course in Ornamental Fish Management (Aquariums, ponds, etc) I very quickly became known everywhere as the fish-man, but i don't mind.
Oh and one of my fave fish is the Coelacanth - hence the Relicanth avatar

Nice, birchirs are so cool, i'll be getting an ornate one when i've set up my big tank (i.e. when i move out of my parents house)
I've got one small tank with Zebra Danios and White Cloud Minnows, and another tank with: Emperor, Glowlight and Colombian Tetras, Leopard and Bronze cory cats, Otocinclus cats and Marbled Hatchetfish.
I also have a 4 x 1 x 1.5 ft Tank to set up, hopefully with a ornate birchir, a Fire eel, 1 or 2 Decorated syno cats and a Jade Sleeper Goby. They're all quite big.

^ I actually had to choose between bichirs and zig zag eels, but I didn't want my gravel uprooted, so I chose bichirs.
You have a large tank; are you planning to keep anymore large fish? Arowana, oscar, large catfish, maybe?

nah, its not big enough for them, though i have looked after some large fish at college that were re-homed as they out-grew their previous homes. There was an African Lungfish but he's always been at the college. he's a metre (3 ft) long and about 45 years old.
There was another tank i looked after with a Redtail Cat, Shovelnose Cat, Giant Gourami and Austrailian Arowana. the latter 3 were all 2 ft long, and the Redtail was about 3, and 1 ft across the head.
The thing people don't realise about fish is they're really intelligent, both the redtail and the gourami recognised me as their feeder after about a month.
I'd like some tankbusters eventually, the tank i've got is more for medium fish. I read about someone who basically walled off part of their basement and flooded the rest, and now he's got rays, gars, arowana, cats, all sorts.
I've just realized that what i said in my first post regarding posting was a complete lie.

You British and your odd accents. Its a meter, lol.
Although I will say that I like the metric system more then the conventional system here. My dad hates it when I say things in metric, but it makes things so much easier. I'm just trying to get used to Celsius as well.
