until i decide exactly what we're doing with it, this is how it stands at the moment.

its amazing how the tank comes alive after i put in some microworms (thanks antwan)

i also have 2 cae in there as vacuum cleaners

Nice! I am sure the bubbas love their new home

as Mark has conceded to another tank, would you like some more "bubbas" to add to those? :bounce:

very nice baby tank

all you need now is a few more batches to fill it up

you said it monaro1 so I took her round another couple of batches - it about doubled her population - so I think she needs to take a new photo for show and tell.

Nice big setup! Only advice I have is to get rid of the HOB (hang on back) filter and get a sponge filter (two or a double for your size tank) so you don't lose any babies. Also, Java/Xmas fern is a MUST, great job getting some for your tank already.

hi i use a hang on in my baby tank but i have placed a sponge over the intake so babys dont get sucked up

Stockings work good over the intake too.

Yes they do... but by using a sponge you will have a prepared filter for when you move them on

Bill.

i will post another pic as soon as the water clears up. i put some sand in the bottom and it's starting to look good.

i think its going to take a little while for the water to clear completely as the 2 CAE i have at the bottom keep shifting the sand around. they have already dug 2 burrows in the tank.
