The bubbles...the bubbles...(quoting Nemo)
You do have some nice looking mature fish in that tank. They all look in very good health as well. Very Happy

What stock do you have? I'm not sure if you've listed everything but it would probably be good to check that you're within your stocking limit.
From memory a tank your size will hold around 70".

Thanks!

Well, I'll have to sit down and think what we've got in there..... gosh, if only allowed 70" then probably far too much by the time they all reach adulthood.

The ten silver dollars, three clowns, the plec, the 3 angels and the CAE probably come to 70 ?????

Shiny water.... mmmm, well, we've had a few issues recently by replacing our pump head ~ the new pump head seemed to find dirt and debris from goodness knows where, so I've had quite a few water changes recently. The last one found previously hidden muck in the filter unit ~ half of which escaped into the tank, so gotta do yet another hoover up this weekend. Rolling Eyes

Thanks for your comment tho !
