His typical pose



I really liked this side shot of his spikes



This one was to silent those myths that this tank is always clean



Gammy eyed L27



And since I cant find any and nobody has yet to offer me one, I decided to conjure one up

The majority of them were black when I got him, but since have nearly all become white. Thanks, it came out better than I was expecting, I would be willing to trade with someone, this one is far less maintenance so if you think about it im doing you a favour.

A few more:

With flash



I like this one because you see the pelvic, anal and caudal fins in all their glory.



Whoever got some of these from Alan/Silverdub will love them, they are great. His gill cover whiskers are really coming on now, not much on the pectorals though.



This fella is real pig, shame you cant see his belly.



I love this fella too, my demon fish, he always looks evil.



My newbie, a L177 from Pier. They had loads of GN's, couldnt resist this 6" fella. I can see why people have difficulty with these, it took about week to see poo.

The L90 is a beauty, cant wait for mine now. You ever wormed any of your fish matt?
How much did the GN set you back? I love them when they get the broad head like that.

I havent, I was going to when the 16" had white stringy poo but that resolved itself right away. I probably should, do you?

He was £65, they had slightly smaller finer spotted ones L18/81 for £48. They looked fantastic in a group, I really wanted them all. They also had some big bugger 10-12", very sparkly.

I've just dosed my Tank about 10 days ago but I've been away since, so I'll find out when I get back tomorrow. The little L418 was eating like crazy but still didnt look full enough so I decided it was time to worm them all.

Keep us updated on the GN, always fancied a huge one but didn't want to risk it. How much was the 10-12" one?

The 2 biggest pieces (far right and middle'ish left) are standard 'bogwood', the one on the far left is mopani and the other one is a bit of red moor. There are 4/5 other small bits on the floor. The day after I put the red moor in all the branches had been chewed even though it was still floating.

Once I get a bit more oak and bogwood in mine I think I'll be investing in some red moor. Shame it's so expensive.
