Hello everyone.
I've used the Planet Catfish Cat-eLog plenty of times before, but have only just joined the forum. I'm from Teesside in NE England, and I have four tanks (well, I have two and GF has two):
GF's 4 footer: some Malawi Cichlids (which keep nearly killing each other slowly!) and two Syno multipunctatus
GF's 2 footer: Neolamprologus Multifasciatus
My 3 footer: Syno Angelicus, 2 L200s, some Congo tetras.
My Big Tank: about 2 months ago I upgraded from a 4' x 2' x 2' tank as my T. Mbu was 24.5" TL and was too big for it, along with some other fish, to my new big 79" x 32" x 24" LWD including a 10" weir system filter at one end. Unfortunately the Mbu didn't survive the move, so I'm "left" with:
a 14" Apteronotus albifrons (Black Ghost Knife fish),
a 9" S. Decorus (Clown Syno),
a 6" S. ? (poss hybrid),
a ~4.5” Megalechis thoracata (Hoplo/Armoured cat),
a 6" Platydoras costatus (striped dora),
a 5” Syno Pleurops,
four 3.5-5" S. Flaviataeniatus (Pyjama Striped Cat),
fourteen 2" Puntius Tetrazona (Gold/Green Tiger Barbs)
one (remaining) Giant Danio.
I'm busy researching what else can go into the big tank, and am hoping the GF's 4 footer could become available to me in the not too distant future to widen my possibilities!

I got my first L200 about 3 years ago, and rarely saw it in my 4' x 2' x 2' tank, so in May I moved it to my 3' tank, so I see quite regularly. About a month later I found another which I bought. Here's a pic of our first one (called Meringue, as in Lemon Spotted...)
It was taken through a bag, so excuse the quality. We think it's female!

Today I drove the 2.5hrs down to Wharf Aquatics and had a long chat with Richard (if you're reading this, thanks for your time and advice!) about possible other, larger, occupants for my tank, and am almost certainly going to get a Giraffe catfish (Auchenoglanis occidentalis) and a Pterodoras Granulosus. I'm still contemplating other fish, such as a Spotted Gar (Lepisosteus Oculatus), but it'll eat my barbs!
