The wonderful thing about having a naturally lit tank is that in the middle of the day you get your whiptails free swimming from one end of the tank to the other. I know the photos are rubbish, but you try and do better!!

Tonight's little reflection, if you look back a few posts I was having a pest snail problem, since I have added the Whiptails, the snails have almost gone completely, not all of them, but the population is reducing. Just an observation.

Thank you. I hope it inspires some of the members to look outside of the square box.
Hey, I live in my box, you go tell people to look for their own box to live in

An observation with the Black Phantoms. I have put only ten into my 150g tank (hoping they will spawn). So, these fish don't school like you would think, or see them schooling in smaller tanks.
The females have spread themselves down the length of the tank and the males flirt with the females and each other. But they never swim in a group.

They don't have to swim in a group because there are no predators to scare them. The males usually have little territories and show off to each other and the girls. If a big predator enters the area, they will group up and hide together. Safety in numbers. But no predators means it's party time

It is cool to watch them. It just proves that you don't need to have a lot of fish, to have a tank that looks full.They don't have to swim in a group because there are no predators to scare them.

OK so this is a journal, this morning the tank was leaking out of the left-hand front corner. I stripped down the join and re sealed, tonight it is stable. Remember, when your tank leaks you don't always need to empty it
