Hi everone

I thought id share my tanks in the main area for you to enjoy

The 1st is my rio 240 stocking plecos loaches mollies guppies swordtails neons and platys.
Needs abit of redecoration once the treatment for worms is done

The 2nd is the nursery stocking a baby platy and black molly fry. The fry came out bigger than some 3 week olds i have.
This is a 24l cheapo from pets at home upgraded from the old 12 or 15l
They will be having a treatment just incase for 2 weeks.

Hope you like

Lovely tanks! I like the idea of a livebearer community like yours, love swordtails.
What type of pleco?

Nice looking tanks but you have a mix of soft water fish like neon tetras in with hard mater fish like mollies, platy and guppies. Do you know what type of water you have? I have both soft and hard water fish in my tanks My soft water tank is a mix of RO water and my tap water to lower the hardness. I have tetras and cory in that tank. My hard water tanks have platy and guppies.

I pull up a chair in front of my tanks and watch them instead of the tv.

Mine is in the dining room so i get to watch them while eating my breakfast and tea.
When you go up to the tank they all come over and follow me.
Do you have pics of your tank and fish

Very nice!

There are fish in there I promise. However, this tank is now empty as I'm setting the tank up for African Cichlids.

I'm in the process of setting it up over the next week. I have set up a journal on this forum if you want to follow the progress.

Plecos in the first photo are common plecos. Second photo... definitely not a bristlenose, possibly a chocolate pleco...

Welcome nice tank. Those Plecos are gonna get pretty big though. Great to see livebearer community tank - do you get lots of fry? I've about 9 surviving fry over the last two months from one female Platy. I don't have a fry tank though - yours looks great.
