Nice.

Is that a Vision 180?

Also whats the yellow/gold plec in the background called?

Yeah its a vision 180.

Its an albino Plec mate, about 6" (2 years old)

The other Plec is around 9" (had him for 5 years)

I want one!!, my tank is still fairly new atm, had it about a year and my biggest fish is my plec at about 4"

4" it will soon grow mate, they love a big tank.

The ray can/will grow pretty big, I will have to get another new tank in 4 years or so. They are also very picky with the pH and Nitrate levels, so 5-7 day water tests/changes are a must.
Got him from Telford, they do have a pair left for sale (male and female) £110 for the 2, breeding project.

Im a fan of the bottom dwellers, neons and guppys are usually eaten LOL, I do restock them now and again though.

I also need to be careful when cleaning the tank as he still has his sting, hospital job if they get ya...

yeah, we sell ray's but alot more expensive than that. £200 each ours.

But they are bigger, and ray's need a 6 foot tank.

We got some Royal plecs in today too, they are V nice not very big but pretty. Also getting Golden nugget plecs V.nice.

LOL you work is a pet shop now?

How old are the rays? and what size? type?

As much as I really enjoy my aquarium, I would NEVER spend that kind of money on 1 fish!!, it could die 2 months later. Saying that my old man keeps Koi, and usually spends 4 digits everytime he goes shopping.

Plus im looking into buying a business at the moment so money has to be watched.

I do like my plecs though, they are hard!.

Yeah, ill get a big fookin tank in 2/3 years just to house the plecs and ray (providing the ray lives that long, its my first one remember), and ill probably set the vision up to marine.

I may offer the angel and algae eater (dont know name) to some1 soon, as they bore me

One thing I have noticed is the ray loves to shit! its like a mini dog turd lol!
Im also chuffed that its eating, apparently if they are off food there is usually a problem with them.
