Default PF Fishy peeps - My Fish tank + Zebra plec!

Just changed my tank around. Old pic was taken during the day this at night so it looks a little strange but anyway. I also just bought a Zebra Plec £79.95! They are really rare and hard to get hold of. Hope she don't ever, ever die!! Shes lovely though.

This is before



This is after (with and without flash)







The sand is really black, was hard to find. Tihitian Moon Sand.

My tank is currently empty, stupid me bought some tiny Piranhas and when they started to grow other fish gone missing.

The bastards even attacked my Royal Pleco.... R.I.P

At the moment my back is in such a bad shape I cant take care of a fish tank but one day I will fill it up again and only buy nice kind fishes and a new pleco.

Looks proper mint now, into the dark sand too.

Used to have 3 4 foot tanks at my old house, 1 with normal tropical, 1 with Discus, silver shark, blowfish and an oddball plec and the other had 6 Red Belly Piranha's, but 1 Ranha got abit hard and beat the other's up and grew into a fat cunt, loved his bacon and chicken though.

Got me wanting to set another tank up now

I really like the Silver Sharks, though they'd get to big for my tank

Earlier in the year Zebra's were going for £150!

Happy with my tank now, not going to add anything to it at all.

i used to have 5 red belly piranha's




then there was 4














a little while later there was 3

















2















then thought fook this and sold em to my mate.


We used to feed em all sorts - best was going down to the garden centre and buy goldfish or guppies and feed em to the piranhas

me and a mate stayed up until 2 am once watching the piranhas eat the guppies. even switched the lights off and tv but the guppies stayed at the top of the water and the piranhas downt eh bottom.
