First a really big one; it belongs to my cousin/nephew Marc, he's got a 720 liter tank, wich is also the home of "Ol' Blue Eyes" now.

Nice fish. How big are they?

Another question, how many tanks do you have?

the Auchenoglanis is passing the one foot mark rapidly. He's in the tank of my cousin; not any of mine. His tank is a 720 L riverine setup with Methynnis, a big Angelicus, dorads and some pleco's; including my Blue Eye.

the Lophio's are in one of mine; a 100 liter tank wich they share with 12 burtoni's, a tanganyikan dwarf spiny eel and a pair Ancistrus. Pa Lophio is about 6-7 cm, Ma is about 2 cm smaller; the baby is about 2,5 cm.

I have 9 tanks!
One is the big Tanganyika tank; 500 L
One is a small riverine tank; 128 L
3 are breeding tanks; 100 L each
2 are small breeding tanks; 50 L
and I got two 54 L; wich I use for all kinds of things; 1 houses an Australian Yabby, at the moment (Lobster), the other baby Axolotls.
