    That is very cool to watch. I would loose hours in front of your ray tank. Truly stunning to see.

    Later Ferdie

    Thanks Ferdie... Glad you enjoyed it

    They are awesome fish to live with...

    I have been trying to catch her on video splashing the water around and out the tank but she is too quick and comes running for attention straight away

    Just had a look at the video. Your fishes are just amazing @MariaS My clowns look like babies compared to yours. The Acaras are stunning. The Arowana is stunning. Those rays. Think I will have to stop here else I will convince myself to get a bigger tank. Stunning. And all so healthy.

    Thanks for the kind words @Pierré Schoonraad ... it means a lot...
    This is the only tank i have in my house at the moment ( the other big tanks are with Cesar) as i shut down the other two smaller ones when i took the plunge into this one and i dont regret having done it...
    The joy and pleasure i get out of this tank and the fish in it are worth a dozen tanks together
    I also have no fighting or bullying which is awesome
    Yes.. some of the clowns are quite big.. will try get some pictures of them.. i love them to pieces.
    The two little acaras are the smallest in the tank but i call them the little jack russels.. they stand up to anything 10 times their size!

    I had some Acaras a while ago. Stunning fish packed with dinamite. Unfortunately the male kept chasing the female out of the tank. When my 3 clowns outgrow my 4ft, which I hope is only in a few years, I will dwfnitly give you first dibs on them. Then I will just start with 5cm guys again

    I havent had a problem with the two acaras, its a male and female but they get along fine and are always together
    Maybe the tank size or all the other big fish has an influence...

    You have a deal on those clowns!

    I think it was the tank size, only a 3ft. But I learned my lesson. Only peaseful fish for me now
