If you spotted my classifieds ad you may have wondered what happened to the Polyps i had in the 3ft tank thats now for sale, don't worry i still have them, i moved them all into the 4ft, heres a quick pic:



all my Cichlids are now gone and apart from one solitary cardinal that evaded capture (and so far predation) my 6ft is entirely Catfish :D
i'm hoping it isn't overcrowded, heres the current stocklist any comments would be helpful:
1 Big Gibby
1 6-7" Leporacanthicus Triactis
1 4-5" L190
1 3-4" L200
1 2-3" L239
1 2-3" L187
1 2-3" Peppered Corydora
1 3-4" Hoplo
1 5-6" Striped Raphael
1 6-7" Syno Decorus

I know the Royal has a large potential size but thankfully a slow growth rate, the Raphael can get bigger and eventually the Phantom will hopefully grow a few inches, apart from the Syno i think everything else is American :dk:
but i was wanting something to add to the Polyp tank and considering there from Nigeria it makes sense to move the Syno across to maintain the Africa species locale and relieve the 6ft a bit as well as creating an American only tank, will the Syno show any aggression towards the Ropefish/Bichir?
Thanks in advance

You should be fine mate syno's aren't exactly what i would call aggressive just boisterous, keep an eye open when feeding to make sure the others still get food.

Just an update, i did move the Syno and was glad i did, although still a shy one i see a lot more of him swimming around than he did in the 6ft and feeding hasn't been an issue at all as he's shy and the Reedfish aint so they gobble all their food up before the lights go out anyway, and there have been no aggression issues at all fits right in with them so a pairing i'd happily recommend to anyone :thumbup:
