thanks Uncle, but i am afraid i think i am losing these fish forever, even in the 5x2x2 my Rainbows will be at risk, not from death, but just from the odd missing chunk and i dont like the idea of that mate,

i took a gamble, and now i realise i need to decide, never thought i'd give up the Bichirs, but i have 12 Rainbows and they are simply stunning to watch.

I might also get a few more Rope fish to compensate for bottom area of tank being more bare of fish.

I am determined to get £20 for the x4 Bichirs, either through cash or credit from Maidenheads, i am sure my size Bichirs would sell for £15 in Maidenheads, so thats £60 which means i get £20

Money will go on some more Rainbows, hence thats why i want the cash/credit!
