Hi first time posting, anyway bout a year ago I got myself a 400litre tank and decided to get myself sum big fish, preferably the not-so-common type. So id n went 2 Rafael catfish(5inch each) 2 snakeskin gouramis(6-7inch) 2 green sevrums( 5-7inch) big pleco(10inch+ from a friends tank) and my pride and joy, a lovely(and rare in the UK) datnoid pulcher(5-7inch). However I was way over my head, firstly I did the weekly water changes, but at the same time I completely scrubbed the filter media(i now know how bad thus was) and I never cycled my tank in the first place . Tbh I'm amazed the fishies lasted as long as they did. But somehow everything seemed fine, all were eating and growing well. But this was not to last, I went away for 5days, and when I got home my heater malfunctioned and went into boil mode! The water was nearly 40 degrees C! There were casualties, both gouramis a Rafael and worst if all the big dat after thus I sold the tank, but I am back with a vengeance! Watch this space for updates haha.
