Mostanks - the gravel came like that. I will defintely find out what it is when I am next up at the shop - probably this weekend as I know they had a big delivery of new fish on Wednesday. I am going to go up there see what they have got - will probably end up with another tank <grin>. They had some new figure eight puffers on Tuesday which were about 1 1/2" long, really cute. Was so tempted to buy a tank just for them.....
Found another new shop during the week which is not too far away from me, just near Victoria station. Looks like a typical small shop from the outside so I thought I would be in and out (just getting some media for a small bottom filter). Turned out that it goes back for about a mile (or so it seemed) and had loads and loads of tanks. Spent about half an hour drooling over the fish - would have been longer but had to get back to work.
Cheers, Eddie
