SNAP .....they are the last fish that I have acquired. My pan is to video them (if they spawn of course).

I've not been doing too much fish buying recently, but in the past few weeks the newbies have been
Betta coccina; Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi ; wild Rams; wild Bleeding Heart Tetras; and Black Orchid Siamese Fighters.

I have my eyes on getting some nice old-favourites when I clear out my quarantine tanks: eg more chocolate gouramis, more sparkling gouramis, and some nice marginata pencilfish I saw came into a shop last week.

Superb fish. In my opinion, Marginata are the kings.
They are also in the same family as Copella....so that would make a nice little Lebiansid tank.

Mine are quite small....I bought 2 sets of pairs (although I'd have preferred to have bought a male with 5 or 6 females....but beggars can't be choosers).

I'll see about some pics, I may have some on my compact somewhere.
