Just in case any of it appeals to anyone, I have some stuff up on ebay (more to go up tomorrow including light starter units, cannister filters etc).

clicky

Might interested your small tank for keeping small goldfish. want to find out any recommendation of big filter for rena tank 150x50x70cm, although the tank does come with xp3 but also need a bigger one for better filteration for my fish as they produce lots of waste.
Can you recommend any shops which sell oddballs, such as redtail cat, peacock bass and arapaima gigas.

Noticed one of the items is at a different location to the others, is that right? Just being observant

I use a Fluval FX5 amongst other things (Tetratec EX1200, Eheim Pro II and Unistar 8-333) on my 6'x2'x2' tank. The FX5 is an absolutely fantastic filter with more power than you can shake a stick at. The Eheim Pro III's are meant be pretty good, but at a price. Some good deals to be had on FX5's too on ebay.

Depends how far afield you you want to travel for oddballs mate. Wharf Aquatics in Pinxton, Notts is my fave regular oddball visit. Maidenhead Aquatics in Harlestone Heath, Northampton started to specialise in oddball catfish last time I as there, although I've not been for a while. Wildwoods in Enfield do mail order stuff and get some interesting stuff in. BAS in Bolton are a great source for rare and exotic stuff and they do mail order (if you phone them and the guy at the other end of the phone says they don't do mail order, get them to put you through to the fish department proper and ask until you get someone that knows what they are talking about). You just missed out, I sold the last of my peacock bass a couple of months ago. Mind you, if I'm honest, Red Tail cats and pimas belong in the wild and nowhere else (along with most Pacu). I've yet to see anyone with a tank setup in the UK that could house one properly.



Yeah mate, that is correct. The 5ft tank is at the girlfriends place in Dorking, the rest are at my place in Derby. The 5 footer has to go to make way for the custom built 9 footer

Thanks for your advice and i have though about the FX5 is well
