Welcome Nat

Yep, you'll learn heaps, but probably teach us something too. I for one would be interested to hear more about what shrimps you have and the freshwater mussels !

As you're typing a post there should be a "upload attachments" section just below where you're typing, you can browse to an image on your computer, then "add the file". They need to be about 800 x 600 in size though to upload them...

Welcome.

I keep fish too, and have 12 tanks running with a mix of African and American Cichlids.

The pleco looks more like a Gibbiceps (Sailfin) Pleco than a Clown Pleco, unless that is a different catfish...

Do you keep any other large Americans other than Oscars? Is that a Red Devil in the bottom pic?
I have Umbee's and Dovii, I'm hoping to breed them to put in my AP setup, I have been told Umbee taste good!
