Hey Willow welcome and what a tank!!!! Many factors going on here and it’s like looking across a valley with trees bushes and I have saved a pic to show mrs it is very well thought out imho

Well compared to a few of previous posts I’m relatively good apart from I work from home and we have a 19yr old downs daughter been home since 3 weeks before xmas as she is vulnerable. So I do first two zoom lessons and then go out working when Mrs gets home and takes over. So she drives us bat...

Dascrow wow that is majorly faster compared to google, how weird is that. Ok maybe I need to swap my browsing to safari now, why would it be soooooo much faster is the question

I don’t judge anyone for doing something that I might not find interesting but they do.....as long as it does NOT hurt or effect anyone else negatively. Treat others as you want to be treated, so respect is key until you know people and feel comfy enough to verbally abuse each other without...

Hi ok I bought my first bit for this tank from aquatics centre £16 and it took over a week to fully sink despite soaking for days. My recent lot are clearly tree roots of some sort but ok I treated with a heavy dose of steriliser tabs and scrubbed under boiling hot water and that is now in tank...

Phoenix what veggie is that your albino is feeding on bud looks like courgette as we call it? I have some broccoli for them to hang inside tank tonight.

iPad Air on google chrome via WiFi 200mbs, I have rebooted all and still laggy where other sites like my steel suppliers site loads in seconds Phoenix

I assume it’s just me having issues with site loading very slowly? Seems laggy just moving from section to section. Sorry if this is an old chestnut ?

Here is Percy the pleco, well bnp to be precise....clearly shows his head side on and I don’t see the bristles on yours tbh Phoenix

The cory’s Look awesome!!! However the detail on shrimp is neat as heck......bristles on its head like a shaved Marine wooop

Ok my large chunk of bogwood has been soaking for over a week and it’s had a right good scrub down and I have put the two in to add depth and height.....little jiggers have plenty of areas to hide and play kiss chase in now. Going to acres aquatics on sat to get a couple of amazon swords and...

I kept fish for years as did my new fiancé, now my ex wife hated them and her ex husband hated her having them.......so this is our own joint hobby. She loves to knit and drives for special needs kids I run a gate railing business and love to do metal art. If we watch tv it’s interesting...

I wouldn’t be able to raise fish to feed live to a turtle, as said will they not eat cut diced frozen?

Aha.....easy to say when not in lockdown and trying to run a business, we will grab some plants later this week they only open certain times. Plus I need to order a female kribensis now my man is lonely and missin some lady attention wooop lol

Yep thanks the plan was to leave for 6 weeks now anyway and plan on the planting side before adding any new fish.

Some of the most intelligent people clearly have no common sense ?

Congratulations a worthy winner indeed, however I am sorry I did vote for the hamster.....mrs said you but I voted before she could get to it.

Viking so it isn’t just my kids wanted pets and then not able to take when moved out......bank of mum & dad will look after them lol

Thanks Colin, ok now would it be ok to get a female to join it?

Nope can see that and do like the personalised way you have done it, not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s quirky and once a few more plants are in will look great ?

Hi jaehem and welcome, I cannot see your pdf for some reason and from first post I’d really like to see your bow fronted tank if you could post a pic?

Build it and they shall come!!!! Quote from film field of dreams.... So Mrs dug out a clay pot and I scrubbed it clean and thoroughly washed off, and he/she loves it. Now owned and keeps returning to it despite loaches encroaching when a chance arises. So mischievous these yoyos, I’m loving just...

I think you get me wrong, I never suggested or hinted it was ok. I told the story of how we were getting back into starting a tank and completely natural no chemicals at all. It was a friend who stated they were going to get shot and we took them on instantly to save their fate. I neither feel...

All fish survived first night and loach’s are so active with all the new tank to explore..... Sat at table having breakfast is just filled with wonder at watching these marvels of nature

The tank was not in a good condition and gravel not cleaned in years Wills. The yoyos dived among the roots and I had to pull plant to get them and water instantly went black!! So it was get them into cooler bag and home ASAP tbh. Mrs will be putting veg and recommended food in as she is in...

Thanks Wills, to give it some exclusive ground we have put a clay pot on its side on the gravel......yet to decide it’s his. Mrs has now named it kriss lol

Fair shout to OP, I don’t think I have ever been depressed so cannot comment for or against what does or doesn’t help. I have suffered extreme stress when my marriage was failing and I lost my business then smashed my hip.......drank too much smoked excessively and barely ate. I decided I needed...

Phoenix not an insult at all, this free tank was given by a friend who had given up and wanted it gone, well his wife did. So either I took it or all of the fish were destined for the flush. So now they are housed in a much larger cleaner tank than they had and we just have to make do with what...

Well no he said they were but it turns out to be two yo-yo loach very adventurous pair too, a bristle nose pleco who has gone into hiding and a cpl of fire barbs also this cichlids tho I cannot find what one it is......it is very feisty to all other fish

Sorry other pic of freebie tank has now loaded, our tank is a metre long by 400mm wide 450mm high. These rainbow or fire barbs I believe is other name and they seem to be very peaceful fish that shoal. If I don’t take them and he cannot find a taker then it’s loo flush for them as they now want...
