Soooooo.....how are the little-uns looking, any notable changes since the last photo?

They are cool, and would look so cool with the other fish I am hoping to get for my new tank.... if you do manage to find some for a nice price let me know!!

Aquabasis ordered, fingers crossed its here for the weekend and I can get started on the tank :bounce:

Cool, thankyou

I was thinking a couple of cm's then maybe 2-3cms of sand...its only a shallow tank...

Wow, what an awesome Cory... they would look awesome with theme I seem to have somehow decided on for my new tank..... my Clown Loaches and some Tiger Barbs

if a 5litre bag of JBL Aquabasis will be enough for a 114Lx38Wx25Hcm tank?

Thanks Josh..... I'm thinking it might be a good idea to wait a few weeks until I get the other tank set up and established....the three of them seem pretty happy pottering about together for now and that little niggle in the back of my mind is telling me to be patient and wait until there is more room for everyone.....is it okay if I let you know when I am ready and if you still have some available I'll get them then?

The one they are in at the moment is about 80 litres, the new one is around 90-100 litre, but I haven't decided yet who exactly is going to move into the new tank and who will stay in the existing one... I'm keen to get some Panda corys eventually too.....

When you spent all last night literally dreaming about setting up the new tank

I might have some small peppered I can sell you

They do that, I hardly ever see mine at all unless I am home during the day/early morning which seems to be when they sneak out.....when I moved everyone into the larger tank that they are in now I saw one that had jammed itself into a tiny crevice of the piece of driftwood that my albino bn calls home, didn't even move when I picked up the driftwood.....they like to cram themselves into the tiniest of spaces...... If you take the piece of wood out, it will no doubt only find somewhere else to hide in I would imagine

Joefish, yes please if you could send those instructions that would be cool, when I'm feeling a bit more confident then I will give it a go..... Supasi, I answered the light question on the other forum

I was going to move my clown loaches and Bristlenoses into it and then maybe look at getting some tiger barbs as tank mates, I don't think any of them are diggers....... I just got home and had to have a burial for one of my glowlights

I have decided that I would quite fancy having a few plants when I set up the new tank..... the tank itself is pretty shallow the dimensions are 114Lx38Wx25H in cm's. It won't be heavily planted as I don't yet have enough confidence to work with the whole CO2 thing. I have so far bought some hairgrass, Borneo Sword a Micro Sword and some Java Moss. In my tank now I have a Java Fern, which is not very happy looking plus I confiscated a plant from my goldies tank as they keep pulling it out, I think its a Japanese Rush? I am keen on getting some Dwarf Sag and no doubt will add a few nice looking others if anyone can recommend anything easy to look after. I will be buying a proper light before I set up the new tank. At the moment I am using washed builders sand in my tank and chances are I will continue to use this as everyone in the tank seems pretty happy with it, though I wouldn't mind something a little bit lighter (colourwise) Anywho......what I am wondering is since it is at this stage only going to be lightly planted would I get away with just using JBL balls in the substrate or am I better off using something under the sand? Because it is a shallow tank I'm not sure there will be enough room to have a huge layer of gravel...... Sorry for writing such a novel and thanks in advance.

Lol......high demand for waster in your house then.....they did have some nice barbs there.....but I behaved......they have to wait until I get the new tank set up..... I just wish I could do it now!!!!!!!

Boo.......no peppered corys

Which store?

So cool, so how long until they start showing little wrigglers inside?

When you know the pet store just got a new order of fish in and you can't stop yourself from "popping in" on the way home from work to see what they've got!!

Yay... I like having normal fish lol.....just haven't noticed it before...

My Albino BN has this funny pink looking spot on his head....could he have bruised it or something?

Yeha, I actually love this forum and have a learnt a fair bit just browsing and wasting hours reading the boards.......

Thanks Stella....sometimes I feel positively ignorant on here lol, but I guess everyone started somewhere right.....

Way cool.... I hope they are fertilised for you :bounce:
