I was given 4 adults and 3 juvenile leopardfish, Phalloceros caudomaculatus, at the end of November (thanks Whiskas 8) ).
I have noticed 5 fry swimming about this morning :bounce:
A good start to the New Year, just about doubling my numbers. 8)
I decided not to put them in the new bathroom, they are sitting on top of one of the lounge speakers in a 455mm x 300 x 300, 40L tank. No filtration, as I was expecting a small internal filter for Christmas but my dear son presented me with a powerhead by mistake :roll: :-?
With small fish in small numbers filtration will not be necessary anyway if I keep up regular water changes. They have a dark gravel substrate with some mini sag and red rotala planted along with duckweed on the surface. The duckweed came with the fish but I like it so kept it. So far it is not getting carried away but time will tell
