Love your little Scobi (L14). I remember when mine used to be small and cute like that, now they are more like grumpy teenagers :))
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?
A) Because dead fish never take the bait! ;)

Amen to that! I'd love to get my hands on some winemillerii, but will have to make do with altifrons. I love the look of the big school of angels, maybe I'll have to get a group to grow out for my big tank...

The end of this tank....a few weeks earlier I came into the living room and the tank had been collapsed somewhere in the night.Everything in the living room, kitchen was wet. A lot of damage. Managed to save some of the fish. About 1300 - 1400 ltr water on the floor.

Oh man, I feel for you. This is a fishkeeper's worst nightmare. I hope all goes well with the cleanup.

Man, that really is a fishkeepers worst nightmare come true!! Makes me glad I couldn't put my big tank in the livingroom. Hopefully your insurance covers the damage. Will you be able to re-use the glass to rebuild the tank?
