Pretty expensive fritter or bbq at around $25 each for what I have up to $2k each depending on the grading/species.

Been a dog & aquarium guy my whole life. Apartment living & not being ready for another four-legged friend (my last dog passed away 18mths ago) means the fish tank gets a tonne of love & attention. I've got an armchair set up across from it & happily spend hours sitting there reading books & staring at the fish.

I've scaled back recently which has left me more money for bike stuff..... Only 2 tanks running now, down from 8. one for breeding shrimp and the other is a semi neglected planted hi-tech.
Here's a shot from when I last cleaned it up.
all time favorite fish - Celestial Pearl Danio, had 70 of them at the height of breeding then slowly dwindled to nought.
Now keeping dwarf corydoras in the planted.

Had to Google, crystal red shrimp. Do they clean the tank like the shrip in Finding Nemo?

Nice. Hey out of curiosity- what's the low-set matting of plants on the left hand side?I've scaled back recently which has left me more money for bike stuff..... Only 2 tanks running now, down from 8. one for breeding shrimp and the other is a semi neglected planted hi-tech.

Left hand side is Staurogene Tropica.
On the right is Staurogene Tropica sp. Porto Velho

Cool. Will be sure to check them out- cut a nice shape & look great en masse. Simple case of propagating by pinching the tops & replanting or they actually throw psuedo-runners themselves?
I love dogs, I get along with dogs better than people actually. I have more time for dogs and get a better conversation from my dog than anyone. 
These are our girls; two chocolate Labradors. One is five, her name is Katii and is the one smiling in both shots. She is my Mum's dog actually but vitis weekly and assists in dismantling anything with stuffing. The other girl is my little princess, her name is Matilda. She was born on Australia day so she had to have an Aussie name. She's nine years old and is the most amazing creature I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I hate not being by her side, I'd love to take her everywhere with me, she's the best mate you could ever ask for.

Yes very easy to propagate, don't want to derail this thread too much, but trim them once they grow taller than 50mm tall by cutting to half height and replant top. Takes about a month to get a good carpet going under high light and co2 injection. I couldn't give the stuff away fast enough

She thanks you for the compliment. Yours look great, love the last photo, very regal.
She already knows sit, come here and a food whistle, of course she gets a treat with the correct response so she learns fast!

Have scaled down too.I've scaled back recently which has left me more money for bike stuff..... Only 2 tanks running now, down from 8. one for breeding shrimp and the other is a semi neglected planted hi-tech.

5 tanks down to 2, 2 ponds down to 1.
still have three pairs of breeding bristle nose catfish inside and at least one pair of breeding tandanus catfish in the pond.
Bristle nose are producing 300-500 young a month atm.

I take it you don't need to buy fish food then.
