First tank that arrived was smashed by the courier company, I can assure you that the time it took to get a replacement, waiting for a fishless cycle was a doddle. Where the tank is situated, we actually blocked off a fireplace just for a fish tank!

Nice. If you want essentially , a " Instant Cycle" clone some media from a freidn and stick it in your tank. Then you will have bacteria already there for ammonia converting!

Yeah, one of the pictures does look as if it is a bit wonky, I must have been smelling the ammonia that day!

Started of with 2 rainbow dace, 4 tiger barbs, 2 green tiger barbs, dalmation mollie and a silver mollie. Unfortunately lost the silver mollie and one of the green tiger barbs, but they have plenty of space for quite lively fish, especially the dace.
