More fishies

[Lithril]

YAY... Just bought another 3 Poppondettas to bring the shoal up to 6 and another peppered cory (3 of them now). Think I'll leave it at that for fish, tank is only about 10 gal and I've got 6 Poppondettas, 6 White Mountain Minnows, 3 Corys and a Dwarf Pleco. Lotsa plants though.

Bought some frozen blood worm and crumbled some in the tank for a treat, fish went mad for it, looks like I'll be keeping a supply of that in the freezer from now on

Can't wait to get going on my 3' tank now, may wait a week though as someone has just said that they've got an eheim that they're not using that I can have

Mmmmm, question is can I wait??? May have to try some aquascaping in the mean time

this may be a stupid question, but what in hell are poppondettas?

Great little fish, bit more unusual than some, they add a lot of character to the tank, saw them in the fish shop and bought some straight away. I'll try and get a picture of mine but in the mean time have a look at the link below.

Popondetta furcata

Lemme know what you think

Interesting looking fish. Looks like a species of rainbow.

yes a very interesting fish indeed.. Did this fish cost much money or how much did u pay for it?

I actually went to my regular lfs and asked them about them and they say they didn't have any at the moment...that means there either rare and are regularly sold out or they don't have them becasue nobody likes them but I think there just not a popular/regular fish.

I paid £2.25 each for them, my lfs seems to constantly keep them in stock at the mo (they had a delivery with some of them in while I was in the shop.)

hmmm, forgot to get a bulb for my tank yesterday, go again this afternoon, wonder what I'll come home with today???
