So I went to Jem Aquatics today, now that they have reopened, hoping to buy one of the 3-4 small black ghost knife fish they had the last time I was there, along with ether the angels if they had them, or some rams. But when we got there, they only had one little BGK left. So after waiting a few minutes for someone to finish with their customers and serve us, we got a Java Fern, and picked out a nice looking pair of little Rams. Then we asked for the last little BGK, so they got out the bag, the ladder, and the net, and started looking around the tank, in all the holes in the wood, but he was gone! He was sold in the 5 minutes between finding him, and trying to catch him! Good day for the shop... But, they will have a new shipment of fish coming in tomorrow, so hopefully, by the end of this weel, I'll have the angels and a BGK!
Anyway, here's the pics:
The male ram, an excellent specimen, such brilliant colours! I think he's called Cid... Don't ask me why.
The female Ram. Very darkly coloured, and un-named at time of writing.
Both rams, for scale. They are both still quite little.
And the Java Fern, on the wood. Should help hide the filter intake, and also shade the area around the cave.
The java fern from the side. You can see I've weighed it down with paperclips, until it takes root on to the wood.
Well, hopefully I'll post some pictures of even more new fish by the end of this week... Hopefully the little angels won't bother the rams too much, but I'll set up a spare 60cm tank, just in case...

What a bugger about missing out on the black ghost fish! Maybe it was a really mean fish, and you're better off without it.
Great work.
