    @nicolaas my friend every thing I have is monster size I have four 40-50cm african clown knive's two 40 cm com pleco and 2 normal pangasius so you will have to have atleast a 1.5 x 1.5 x .6 meter tank or heated pond to house them, but there is a small bircher that can be adopted if you are looking for something.

    Regards Willem

    No, non of my tanks are that big(biggest is 120cm) but, I can take the bircher off you. I'll put it with my silver dollars in my 160L.

    I wish there where more people like you @Willem I would also do it but I don't have any funds :(

    Jip that is why I scaled down, my 2.4m display tank was for sale at one stage but I had to restart for the Hi fins.

    But contact me when you are in PTA again then we can organize for you to pick it up.

    Regards Willem
