1 Dalmation Molly (a successful fry - all the adults have died over time. Don't have much luck with Mollies so not getting them anymore)
12 neon Tetras
12 head & taillight tetras
3 Angels
Did have 6 Cochus Tetras from Livefish but they all eventually died. Might try them again at some stage as I really like them.
I also have 1 small tank with a Betta in it called "Clive'. He's the only Betta that's managed to live for over 2 months (I've had him for 12mths), and a small tank that I breed those pesky snails to feed to my loaches.

2ft (60 litre) planted currently cycling with some tetras and a bn. When the bettas move in, hope to get some shrimp and albino bn as well. This is to be a betta breeding tank.

Used to breed arab/palomino but had to give that away when I went to uni, same as all the poultry I use to breed and show. Hmm, think I see a pattern here, hence the quick addiction to fish.

Myanmar(Burma) use to be Monland. Along time ago our country was conquered by the Burmese, so now it has become Burma. We have become a minority in our own country, it is quite sad <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> . My family left Burma because their was too much fighting, and my dad was a rebel fighting against Burmese opression, so my mum and i were always in danger.
