Regular Member ParadiseLost Posted January 18, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 For your viewing pleasure. I can't work out why there are so many stupid bubbles on the glass, should I just reach in a wipe them off? It's a 90ltr (20ish gallons) tanks, quite long and thin. There's a big vase on its side in there and a pot with plants in, and a very thin layer of red gravel at the bottom. I wish this came out better, they were all huddling together. Their tank, all stupidly bubbly ARRR The tank again. A bit closer up, you can just about see one of them, they're so small compared to the tank! I think they're a bit shellshocked at the space lol but they'll get used to it. Shiny Sides keeps trying to pop out the top of the water for some reason? Pumpkin Spice felt right at home I think she was swimming around happily straight away. Sorry the tank isn't very well decorated, it's just a mishmash of stuff atm until I can afford to buy more stuff. A few slate rocks and more plants methinks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member devilduck Posted January 19, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 19, 2010 Wow those second lot of pics are great! I'm sure the fish don't know what to do with themselves with so much space! It's cute how they stay together in a little trio like little kids at a new school when they don't know what they're supposed to do! You are going to need a bigger filter at some point very soon, that one is fine for 5 gallons (I use one in my minnow tank) but not the space they have now. Is that vase the one they were in or a different one? It looks cool You've done a lovely thing for them getting them a big tank and sacrificing half your desk for them, they'll pay you back a thousand fold Grow little fishies grow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know the filter apparently does 11ltrs hahaha! It is cleaning stuff up a bit. I am waiting on my bfs mum to reply as to whether she has a spare filter (I'm sure she must they have a large tropical tank and used to have a gildfish tank too since the last one got too old and passed away, AND in the garage I saw another tank too so she HAS to have one kicking around! Just got to wait for her to confirm my suspicions (it's cheaper that way too ). Thanks for the compliments. They were all hiding behind the vase last night but now they are hiding in a group in the bottom left hand corner, nooo idea why! I just gave them some peas and sweetcorn too, hopefully that'll coax them out. The vase is one I used for flowers once it cost me £1 at a carboot sale xD Edit: Btw I mainly put the little filter in to start filtering the old bowly goodness right away.

Regular Member ParadiseLost Posted January 26, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2010 I thought I would update with the progress of my tank. I got a new filter, a thermometer, and some tank pebbles. OH and I made a background out of purple plastic wrapping and tissue paper too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted January 26, 2010 Admin Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wow your getting there hun... Now remember your tank is going to go through a cycling bump so your going to want to test your water, water changes are going to need to be done to keep ammonia and nitrites down too hun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
