    Whoa... i didn't realize how small those fish are until i saw them in person!
    I went through to meet Henk last evening (He is lending me two tanks so i can set up a quarantine) so i got to see this fish room... It's awesome.

    I have never seen so many tanks in a place that isn't a fish shop. The highlight is the freaking huge tank in his lounge... 2000L maybe?

    Henk, thanks a stack for all the goodies and the wealth of advice! :cool:
    (I am sure my yellow fish will get is colour back soon with those veggie flakes)
