I got my little girl some Shobunken last year but their faces melted off.

I then got a couple of Tench, they lasted a while but eventually one vanished (literally) overnight and then the other died a few weeks later. No idea why, had a filter and PH thingy.

I won't be getting anymore.

Cheap goldfish have lasted about 18 months now.

Coyney has marine and think Danny has.

Be interested see who has got what to see if we share any hobbies. I have kept tropical for years, and also discus. I until recently kept marine however i gave it up due to the cost

I have a 180 litre tropical tank that fills the chimney breast in the back room rather nicely *street cred goes through floor* -

If I had room I would have a big tank.

tbh - they look nice when they are running okay, but mine is infested with blue/brown brush algea which requires me to take everything out once a month or so and scrub the feck out of them (not the fish I might add before I get the RSPCA knocking on my door).
But when its clear it looks fab.

We have a tropical tank. Its pretty boring though coz we have about 8 fish in it. My dads to scared of adding to it as they keep dying when he gets new ones. I say just by 100, if 50 die then you've still got 50 left. And theyll **** eachother and make more. But he's not having it.

Scared of introducing foreign species, with their weird diseases no doubt.

No - its just a bog standard rectangular JEWEL one - not a fan of bow fronted ones they distort the view slightly.....
and putting 100 new fish in a tank at once will crash the biological filter and kill 99% of the life in your tank.
The key word is patience...... (just like with the footy)

I like them if I'm diving or snorkelling but couldn't be arsed with all that messing about with filters and stuff to keep them in a tank.

They taste boss though.
