If only! I have no more space left what with the geckos, the two existing aquariums and the six ferrets (eight at the moment as I'm looking after a pair for a rescue who are all out of room).
I'm pretty content with what I have at the moment to be honest, but I think we can all say "I'd love to have a <insert lovely fish species> some day"!

Thankyou... I enjoyed Mistah Puff a lot and he's definately made me want to keep puffers again some day.
Hehe... yes I am just a little busy with critters. My brother is away travelling at the moment too, so I'm looking after his rats ^_^. But they are no trouble... I secretly want to steal them for myself anyway so it's nice to be looking after them.
Right... the next idea for Mistah Puff's tank are shrimp and praecox rainbow fish!

Sorry for your loss of Mr. Puff - may he live long in your
memories.
Don't know about the rainbows, but shrimp are fun! Have you kept them before?
Hello to Willard.

Shimp just have unusual rutines. Personally I wouldl ook into getting one of the bamboo/fan/wood shrimp. They are filter feeders and very intresting to watch eat!

I want something to clean my Riccia of algae though lol. Plus I'd like something red. Filter feeders would be different, but not as active I would imagine.

yeah that could be alot of fun. someo of the freshwater shrimp are really easy to keep/breed and come in beautiful colors.

Absolutely! I think I'll go for some cherry shrimp. They are expensive, but apparently quite hardy and will eat almost all sorts of algae. Hehe... which is always a bonus. Plus I've *finally* made a *proper* decision about what to put in the tank! I'm going to get four praecox rainbows and some cherry shrimp... possibly only three shrimp as they are pricey. Hurray! I'm looking forward to having some fish in the tank finally... it looks wrong without any fish.

Over here a single Praecox Rainbow is more then a trio of cherry shrimp!

Yeah it probably would be here too in a lfs, but online it's £10 for four praecox and £10 for three cherry shrimp, with £10 for carriage on top of that. So it'll be £30 or so altogether when I order, though I may just get another shrimp to make it four in case one dies or something.

Yeah its more like 12 USD for a praecox and 9 USD for 3 shrimp
