Nice looking tank, lots of space to swim. I kinda like loads of rocks piled up im a mess, but thats just me.

You know what... I never got round to asking 'em!

No I'm serious are they schooling fish and you just don't have enough of them yet or the cat started swatting his paw in the tank trying to get them and they hid or are the new additions?

Yeah, ive only had them about 2 weeks now. I have 3 of them and i know that for 3 of them my tank could be bigger. The tank is in the kitchen and tbh im never really at home a lot & if i am im on my computer in a different room! Still, i love keeping fish, but i guess they are jus still gettin' used to me - i am kinda scary lookin'!

cool, but looks very unrealistic, colors don't match that well. Do you have an underground filter, or do you just plain not have a filter?

very creative!

I immediately thought of Cheerio's Cereal.

If those fish are so skiddish, why not rearange the rocks to create caves and more places to shade the light a bit?

Yeah thanks... I have an internal filter, if you look closely at the tank you can see the black box on the left hand side. Im seriously not that stupid, just because im not the best designer, doesnt mean to say i dont know to put a filter in my tank. Thanks for your comments anyway guys. Will take them on board and see what i can do... BTW, It is the camera that has shined up my back ground BRIGHT BLUE. The background is blue, though under normal conditions, i.e. when im not taking pictures of it, it is almost black. Thanks, gotta get arranging those rocks though...
