After moving my clowns into their new 2m tank I have set up a Juwel 350 corner tank in my lounge for my smaller loach & community fish and I thought I should share some pics: -
The YoYo's will outgrow this tank and will then move back in with the Clowns.[/img]

if that is a "paroon" shark I wouldn't worry about needing to move the yoyo's out when they get older.

he has pulled the "top 5 fights" video but in it the shark eats the ghost knife.

That's a good point, he is not a long term resident and will be rehomed very soon. The tank is a little overstocked so the guppies & swordtails will be moved to another tank soon too.

Doesn't look like a paroon, more like a regular iridescent shark/cat. Either way, it'll outgrow your tank in less then 10 months including consuming everything but the cichlids.
It will out-grow even your 2m tank in about 18 months. They need to get to at least 2' with lots of swimming space or they will stunt and get associated chronic dramas. Sorry to bring bad news.

He is a pangaius catfish, he will not be in that tank for much longer. I have had him since 1" and he is now approx 8" and I will be rehoming him once I have found a responsible and knowledgeable person to take him on.

you just might have to kill it and learn a lesson.
sorry but that fish gets huge and honestly a ton of them are sold and the planet can't support enough monster tanks for them.

My friend up the way manages a golf course with a big private lake. That should be big enough.

Nah- completely closed system that feeds the grass irrigation. Not connected to any other drainages, even in flood. Currently overpopulated with invasives: mozambique tilapia, Aussie red-claw prawn and guppy.
