That looks like a snake...

It is a very fat Kuhli Loach

Wonderful baby Kuhlis

This is after I took out over 30 shrimp and put them in the big tank. I hope Tetras and Clown Loaches love live shrimp/

 
RCS in this tank are only there for my Betta to hunt.
 
 
Thank RCA, They must like the water conditions.

Because I wanted 2 Bettas I was planning to pull my 2 footer down, So I set my 20 l Aquael cube up and put a male Betta in there, and went out and got a new 30l Aquael for the PK female, I raided a number of plants from the 2 footer and the 6 foot tank to set up the cubes, Now I have a BIG problem, I was intending to pull the 2 footer down like I said till I saw this.
 
This is now my Shrimp and Kuhli Loach tank,

Ok it needs a little straighting  up but I just dont have the heart to do do it the shrimp love it.
 
Photos of my 20 l Aquael cube can be found here My New Shrimp Cube.
 
I will start a new thread for the new 30l Aquael cube with photos soon.

Fish keeping.
 
Its not bad enough I have to make sure I don't suck my Betta up into the siphon hose, Now I have shrimp that think fingers are food.
 
Adds a whole new meaning to finger food.

I can see something moving on the right hand side ... could this be the elusive betta?

Who says Bettas can't stand a bit of current? That tank has a 2 tray canister filter on it turning over 300 liters per hour ( I actually timed it ), But with some  drilling of extra holes in the spray bar its a sluggish current, You can see the plants are just moving yet the Betta can easily hover in one spot like they do.
 
The only trouble with that set up I hardly ever see my fish, Other than food time, Hes always paroling his tank harassing the BN or hunting shrimp, Thats when hes not Flaring at me , Dark tank, Lots of plants, lots of Indian Almond Leaf and a dark fish, But hes happy.
