    @Willem - yeah that's about what I would have estimated them to be - you can see that they're big!

    @EnvironmentalBro Thanks there is just one problem with the last pic can't get much info on the pangasius all they give you is how to fillet it and the best way to cook them.:sad2:

    @Willem Haha shame man... I have always wanted to keep some huge fish as I have also been a fisherman my whole life... Now I'm torn between my love of fish and my desire to fish for them sigh...

    @EnvironmentalBro - My dad is into fishing and always used to take us fishing as kids, but the more I got into keeping fish, the less I could stand for sport fishing. I can't see why you'd want to injure and stress a fish in the name of fun. If you're going to keep and eat it, however, different story.

    Anyone using "The Gimp"? I discovered it with my introduction to photography and is very impressed. It is the alternative to Photoshop in free ware. It is complicated, but things like crop and resize is a breeze. Use the export function to save as jpg.
    GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program
    Video tutorials is also abundant. Look for "Meet the Gimp"
    Meet the GIMP! | Video tutorials for GIMP and other free graphics programs

    I will look at Riot as well. Maybe I am missing something.

    @Newby Thanks for the pics, will get them on as soon as I get a moment.

    @SalmonAfrica There is a link at the top of the page called "MyAquarium" if you want to see whats missing just have a look there. However I am also looking to increase the number of pics per species so just add them here even if there are already pics of that species.

    @Willem That is awsome, I had one a couple years ago, it munched a whole bunch of my tetras over night :amazed: Needless to say I learnt to do my research before buying a fish... Sometimes we have to learn the hard way :banghead:
