Thats a interesting picture Mick. I'm not sure if i can see three different species but the middle chap looks like a Lepidocephalichthys berdmorei. Did Neil get a tank full of these in?

And those Eels...... :shock:

big Graeme that lep was in with the rubidipnnis and the only one so i had to get it as well as the rest of the fish in the pics.
i'm going to sell a lot of my cory's to make more room for the asian fish.
i'll only keep the corys that i like best.
thanks everyone for the kind comments it's made my spending so much more worth it.

cheers
mick :D

Do you have a selection of eels in there? They are gorgeous. What are they? Did you post them before?

I am abslutely in awe. You guys have to watch posting pictures of all your gorgeous fish. All of us fish deprived people, will start including your homes in our UK tours. I am due for a trip back to Europe in the next year. :)

thanks again lads.
gravybrain sorry for buying nearly all the maepiensis, niel was on the bell to a lad who wanted some in my defence i did allow him to have two plus piggy4 has 6 of me so i did'nt keep them all.
niels reordering them again soon.
they are beautiful mate with a cracking temperament.
i already had a few emperors from the last time he had some in, those that you saw Niel had ordered especially for Ashleigh.
the next shipment won't be long mate, a couple of weeks at the most.

yipeeee
