You said you were able to rehome? Did you adopt from someone else or did you find the little guy at a pet store?

He came from someone else, I have no background info on this one. I have adopted and rehomed all sorts

Have 1 or 2 more arriving Monday , dug a 3 footer out to house them temporarily. The one I have is seriously personable. Hope this isnt lost when his friends join him

aww! Good for you helping them! If you know anyone in the southeastern us who cant care for theirs I would love to help out. I had a SAP, he was the LOVE of my life... he passed away about a month ago, and I miss him terribly.

You are a long way away lol. I started by speaking to Lfs and they give my number for collection of unwanted fish. I also advertise in the classifieds. I do it more for my love of fish than to help others.

Did the SAPs get along nicely?

Still awaiting new arrivals, keep getting told next Monday. It's cool tho cos I am working on a very long wall tank to move them to, keeps stalling unfortunately. The chimney is likely coming out in my place and I am trying to get a 6.5x 1 ft tank built. Once chimney removed I lose no space if I add this tank lol

Ahh! Sounds nice, best of luck. I'm jealous. Wish I had a tank that size.

I don't have it yet. Have dozens of tanks sitting spare but nowt like this. Between my wife and the builders and moving prospects, plus the peops tank building/ quoting it could be a while. As a temp I have some big plans which will make me unpopular in my house. Mwahaha

I have always wanted a very long but relatively small cross-section tank, but have never had the "place' to use one. It sounds good to me.

Wahey finally. A supplier now has stock so the28th should see me with 2 more saps, just took in a small redtailed shark too. Not sure where to house him.

Sounds like fun. I'll be jealous.

It will be lol. Can't wait to see them all buzzing round the 5 footer, got extra snails as a welcome gift and 40 river shrimp in already eating top notch food and veggies, if they choose not to eat the shrimp I will have a cleanup army

Are your river shrimp as god at avoiding being lunch as most shrimp?

None of the Americans I know who have lived in the UK for any length of time have been hobbyists - we can compare fish, but comparing native inverts is tricky.

No our river shrimp are stupid, they make little effort to avoid being eaten.
