    So ive rescaped my 4ft and added fish.
    Altogether in there I have:
    X4 green tiger barbs
    X3 albino tiger barbs
    X1 Tiger barb
    X4 kribs (2 spawning pairs)
    X1 flying fox
    X5 khuli loaches
    X1 featherfin synodontis
    X1 South American bumblebee catfish
    X2 apple snails

    I am thinking about getting rid of the barbs and adding about 20 rasbora hengeli. The current is quite song as im trying to mimick the natural habitat of the kribs aswell as the catfish. My two pairs of kribs are breeding on either sides of the talk and both pairs are guarding eggs at the moment.
    Comments appreciated! :)

    very nice tank . I'm betting that you never see your Bumblebee Catfish; when i had one years ago I hadn't seen it for months, assuming the worst, but then found it living under a rock while doing a clean, very much alive and well. great little catfish

    Nice Tank... I'm no pro but preference for me would be to build the slate higher up and create more natural looking structure.
