Got any pics Austy? My saratoga is native - sadly I don't have him anymore 
I let him go to Wollongong to someone who had a much larger tank for him.

Thanks guys, he is a beautiful fish, but very high maintenance, but I was warned. He uproots everything in his tank (I have since added a few fake plants, coral etc...) and when I put my hand in to move them back he attacks. I mean he really comes in and bites, it doesn't hurt just the shock of the first one lol.
When you put your face close to the glass he flares his gills, opens his mouth and puts on a real display. I had to change from an internal filter to an external one that pumps 1200L per hour just to keep the tank clean. That lasts for a fortnight and then the whole thing is syphoned and cleaned manually, but I wouldn't get rid of him.
Here a few pics I took just now.

Hey, I've got a small planted tropical tank which is home to an awesome Flame Gourami, some Harlequin Rasboras and a Bristlenose Catfish.
I also have a tropical nano tank with an interesting veil-tail fighter that is whiteish/orange with almost a neon blue running through his fins and pure black eyes, first one i've ever seen. And some Neon Tetras in there too!

Sadly, I just had to sell the last of my fish... , I had two mean cichlids left (they had eaten all of the others) and a 'getting too big' Red Oscar. All I have left is a silver shark and the goldies in the pond outside. We are getting baby turtles for the 4ft tank. Anyone know which native fish I can throw in with turtles that wont get eaten? I am tossing up what to put in the 6ft tank (which is currently in need of a new bottom) cichlids or a predominantly micro cichlid community tank?

This is my planted tank - it was originally going to be only natives, but its ended up being a bit of a mix....It has some shrimp, mussels, freshwater crabs, various rainbowfish, and some exotics.
