As to the old tank (1.2m - 450l) what can I put in with the 4
tinfoil's. There are some plastic plants (they don't seem to like them
G) and rocks. Algae growth is pretty prolific.

Tinfoils aren't too hard to cohabitate fish with, if you have the water
volume. Either match them (ie: Congo tetras, Bala Sharks...), or
contrast them (ie: Tiger Barbs, medium-large sized cichlids...), or keep
entirely out of their space (ie: Plecos, Catfish...). The best choices
will vary according to the size of the Tinfoils (I've seen them kept with
Oscars), and the size of your...... pond ;~).

Reading Baensch he says Bala sharks and tiger barbs need plants.
If it is, I suppose more plastic will have to do as nothing live will
survive.
This worries me about a pleco as any wafer or lettuce etc will be
consumed before he could get to it.
What cichlids were you thinking of?
Thanks for the link checked the differences in the algae eaters. Will
be better informed on the next trip to the city.
