phoenix44 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 lol everyone tells me i'm crazy for having a fish tank that doesnt have any fish not crazy.. ha ha... you reckon the results were better with the t5HO powerglos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 T5 has better light spread and you can get better colours by mixing and matching tubes MH is still awesome but with an odd size tank like this, a single MH doesnt seem enough....

Joe Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 ha ha mean! now get some orange fish in there! What's the point of putting fish in an open-top tank? They'll all jump out! When I first started fish keeping, I had a tiny 2cm gap right along the back of the tank. I lost just about all of my fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Not all fish jump :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I know, but in most small tanks like this people tend to put small schooling fish like rasboras or small tetras. The only species of fish that I could think of for this tank that wouldn't jump would be an apisto or otocinclus, but that would just look boring. I'm a big fan of shoaling fish. They add movement and are usually very colourful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottos jump Not all fish jump :roll: +1 that. I've had fighters and killies in an open tank. Yes I did get the occasional jumper but it's not as common you you'd think.

Joe Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well I'll be able to put that to the test once I have my Rimless set up (which will be in about a year hopefully!) By the way, stunning tank evil_elmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
