The only fish fella in Mansfield who knows what he's on about, sells them in batter mate
Known as aquaphibians in Stingray
Sounds about right

It was Pets at Home so no, he didn't have a ****ing clue
I use a couple of local independent merchants now instead.One was a rainbow shark, the other was a silver shark. I got the silver shark first and was therefore the biggest and the eventual brief victor too

Never saw them dressed like that
You could have bought a de-humidifier and kept going!
If I weren't married I'd probably have a dozen or more tanks. I want species tanks for freshwater shrimp (since they tend to get eaten by fish)... I want a marine tank... I want a brackish tank for mudskippers. I want a hard water tank for cichlids... and a blackwater tank... a snail tank... a crayfish tank... a tank or two for larger fish such as Oscars.
Have to keep myself satisfied with just one tank!
Two if you count the small 10Gallon tank in the office for the Betta.If I ever strike it big would like to build a huge tank for red-eared sliders. Don't feel comfortable keeping them in anything that would fit in my house comfortably because I feel like they need/deserve more room.

Who knows, maybe to breathe?
Would be better if someone swapped his goldfish out for a piranha.

...grows to about 10" but I guess there will be the odd occasion they grow bigger or smaller as all living things do. Did yours get to 18" then? (oo-er)
PS...I named him "shark". I didn't name the red tailed one as the was the mrs' (not married) choice. The albino was named "albino"
thsi is a fascinating thread really. it is just plain itneresting to see a different side of youze guys and hobbies.

Yeah true. When I posted the OP, I didn't expect Milk and Sisu to be the main contributors TBH. Thought it would be someone like CCC, Dave or Donga for some reason.
One of the coolest fish that I hope one day to keep:
The need brackish water, humid air, and access to land. Mudskippers are just so odd- I love 'em.

Yep, Bala Shark as in the video I put up, mine is over 11" and not fully grown. It's what you feed them, can see this one in the pic was on a lowish protein diet, his body has no bulk, it's an unnatural shape for that species, I fed him crickets and blood worms. Unbelievable jumpers too they are, quite adept at jumping out of open top tanks while you are cleaning them and scaring the **** out of you
Awesome little buggers. They are no beginner fish those.
I'd like some Archer fish myself.

It's what you get when you have fish to dinner rather than for dinner
Awesome- I've seen them on wildlife documentaries but hadn't heard of them in the fish trade... googled them. Brackish water!
I really have to do a brackish tank one day; between Goby's, many cool puffer species, and mudskippers (not sure compatibility here... puffers can be aggressive), so many odd- and cool brackish fish.
