Been a while, but i thought i'd post here rather than start a new thread!
A few updates and the current stock list: I've bought myself a new house, the tank is still in the old place which is owned by work and they're ok with it staying there until i'm ready to move it. I've started work on an indoor pond in my new place:
http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=270388
which is to house my larger fish. so the big cats and pacu etc have all been moved out.
The plan is that when my paddling pool is free again all the fish left in the 6x2x2 will go into it. i hope to take out part of a dividing wall in the new house and mount the tank with new stand and lid in the wall and have it viewable from both sides. Due to there being a rather large ugly patch job in one corner the tank will be completely stripped down and taken apart before leaving it's current home. All the old silicone will be cut off and as it's in pices will be much easier to carry out!
The local tank builder that helped with the repair job is going to take a look at it all and replace the damaged panels then rebuild it and change the top bracing to a more open design so i can reach right into the corners rather than have mrs satan to climb in there if they need reaching. There's quite a bit of algae showing on the current clear silicone so i'm going to get it rebuilt with black silicone as i've seen some tanks on here made with it and think it looks much nicer.
That's the plan anyway, will be done as and when funds allow but will hve to be done eventually! For now, the stock list is:
1x Jaguar Cichlid
1x Red Devil
1x Dovii
1x Marbled Oscar
1x Stripped Headstander
1x Disticodus Sexfasciatus
2x Spanner Barbs
1x Jardini Arowana (Grow out for pond, watching behavure closely!)
2x Clarius Catfish, 1 Albino, 1 mottled
4x Plecos, 1 Blue Phantom, 1 Royal, 1 Rusty, 1 Acanthicus Adonis (grow out for pond)
1x Giraffe Catfish (being held for mrs satan while waiting for a larger tank for her Africans)
Pics when i remember a camera!
