    Also added some nice wood 😉

    Those are some very nice fish :)

    Though I thought the Gold Nugget was an L018 Plec, Google Images certainly backs that one up haha ;) (According to Planet Catfish, Gold Nugget Plecs are numbered:  L018, L081, L085 and L177.
    L017 is not coming up as being a Gold Nugget, although the patterning on the body is vaguely similar, there isn't an orange stripe on the ends of the fins  *grin*

    That piece of wood looks good anyway ... Does that mean I get to keep my piece? roflmao (that, incidentally, won't sink! - I've had it tied down in the 4ft tank since the day after I bought it but it still hasn't sank yet)
    4ft, 140L:
    14 x Pentazona Barbs
    10 x Golden Barbs
    2 x Kribensis (m&f)
    1 x Albino Rainbow Shark
    3 x Bristlenose Plecs

    3ft, 60-80L:
    1 x Musk Turtle

    2ft, 54L:
    8 x Glowlight Tetra
    3 x Otocinclus

    3ft, 100L:
    3 x Red Hump Eartheater Cichlid (Geophagus steindachneri)
    1 x Bandit Cichlid (Guianacara stergiosi)
    10 x Bristlenose Plec Juveniles (approx 1"+)
    4 x Lemon Bristlenose Plec - 2 breeding pairs
    2 x Tiger Plec (L002) breeding pair

    50L grow-out tank:
    50+? x Bristlenose Plec fry and Lemon Plec Dad from 3ft, 100L tank.

    I thought so but I couldn't be sure whether it was actually L018 or not so I did a bit of Googling ;) :) now we know!  *grin*

    Nice :)
    I believe that the L numbers are not all distinct species; in some cases different numbers were allocated to adult and juveniles of the same species by accident. However there does seem to be a genuine difference in spot size between some of them, and varieties in the shade of gold.
    9 tropical tanks, 1 marine

    Bred:
    Cichlids: Dicrossus filamentosus; Pelvicachromis subocellatus 'Moanda'; Biotodoma cupido

    Loaches: Pangio myersi
