Well, as the filter has dealt with what I have thrown at it, I decided to stock the tank up now, so I went to the fish place yesterday and spent £40
I went to the local Maidenhead Aquatics and I have to say I was very impressed. I was asked if the tank was mature when I asked for Neons. And if I had another Angel when I asked for one cos they like to be in pairs. They didnt suggest putting the Angel and Neons together but I will admit I told them they were for different tanks because with XL Neons, I dont see the small angels are gonna be a problem(I will move the angels when they grow up)

Now to be honest I'm not all that keen on small fish, theres none that I like more than others(if that make sence) so I let my OH choose what to put in the smaller fish, fish tank! He chose 6 Neons(XL) and 6 Silver Tips. I wanted another Angel in there and 2 Male Dwarf Gourami.
I decided to get 4 "wild" large Rosy Barbs for the bigger fish, fish tank but I have a problem, my b****** shark/catfish has had a go at them overnight and damaged their scales and fins. So I have moved them into the smaller fish, fish tank aswell now and treated them with some stress coat! They dont look bothered by the damage but I will keep an eye on them.
I also have lost 3-4 rainbows in the last couple of weeks, the water is fine, and I am now thinking its him! But I have nowhere I can put them, its the bigger ones who are left.

I can't decide what to do with him. Keep him with just the Parrots with him(and XL pink kissers) or my friend at work has said she will take him and put him in either the Cichlid tank or in a tank she has Koi in as he is a coldwater catfish technically!
I have just been looking up info on them and they say to keep with koi or large tropicals so either would be ok. But he is such a nice looking fish.

If I rehomed him, I dunno what I would want in the tank anyway! I am kinda limited because of the parrots anyway....

What do you guys think?

Any info you could find on an Amur Catfish would be greatly appreciated aswell. I didnt know what he was, he was rehomed by me cos I liked him!

Who knew fishkeeping made you make so many decisons!!! lmao
