15 x Sterbai Corydoras

13" Red Tail Golden Asian Arowana
7" Flagtail Prochilodus

I have a 4' 300ltr tank a 3' custom 220ltr tank and a 6x2x2 600ltr tank

Im looking into using my 3' tank for a breeding project of plecs im interested in L134 if anyone has any young avaliable? cheers look forward to chatting to you all

Hello everyone

to add to the list i know own 5 x 2.5" L134 Plecos 2 males and 3 females hoping to breed them so fingers crossed.

Also anyone interested in a 3-3.5" L177? It may get in the way of my breeding program as it could enter the caves and disturb the L134s and i cant put it in my big tank just in case the RTG Arowana tried to eat it! Great little pleco always out and about

I have a fish box and couple of fish bags i can send you. I think you can get a heat pack from the chemists, and use next day special delivery:yes: Its quite easy really lol. If you aren't happy to then no worries:)

Thats what people use as heat packs?? The things you put on straind muscles, didnt know that. Ill enquire about a small ish box from the local lfs they usually give me boxes when i transport fish although there big boxes. ill find out. ill put a pic up so you can see it. theres one just been put on AC in manchester also if you look at the recent listings you will find it although at £60 its v expensive id say, very nice example. mine doesnt have loads of yellow on the edges of the fins but has large yellow spots, should of been more picky which one i bought at the time but it was the L14 i wanted badly L177 was a bonus didnt mind which the lad caught

yup, Irene would know more about heat packs. Ive only posted fish in the summer so didnt need one. Ill have a look on ac but yeah i would say £60 is alot, but then im not sure what price they are atm. Anyway send me a pm whenever you are ready or change your mind.
