did you see if your dad wanted any of my kit?

I'm going round tomorrow night so I'll ask him then.

what set ups do you fellas have then?

Just a two foot tank at the mo. The missus won't let me have anything bigger because we haven't got the space.

they get massive, get some otto's (otocinclus) and you're golden. and imagine they're all called ricky
Thats precisely what happened and what we did in the end. We gave the algae eaters back to the shop - Couldn't face 'disposing' of them ourselves! They become like part of the family, don't they. The Otto's were much better tank cleaners anyway!

Got rid of the lot when we left the US. Wife was quite pleased as she got fed up with hoovering out the tank every 10 days.

It was really relaxing just watching the fish slowly swimming around the tank - A real stress reliever!

i did have a 55gallon tank (5 by 2 by 2 foot, i think) but moving to a flat meant i got shot of it.

Maybe they were trying to get a stone lodged in the fan to make the water go cloudy so that they'd be taken out when you cleaned the tank and then they'd swim into the ocean to find the youngest ones father

Does anyone know of anywhere in or around Swindon that will rehome fish?

My Mollies are taking over my tank and I need shot of them.
