I've now got my new tank set up in my new house and the bacteria are all across safely - well possibly not all but enough :D

Yesterdays addition of ammonia was completely clear by today and the nitrite was practically zero too :) (practically in that it was only just visibly pink - so alot less than 0.1)

I've added more ammonia - hopefully that will all be clear by tomorrow too and then in go my fish.

My lfs gave me the poly box and bags to move them free so I'm a happy bunny (alright I had just spent a fortune buying my second tank from them but even so its nice ;) )

If any one is passing through cupar pop in to UDA they've a full size clown loach in there at the moment - the guy is massive! The wee ones are cuter though :love:
 
Thats good. Just keep an eye on it :look:

I was thinking on taking a visit to them. I need to get rid of some fish :laugh:

The clowns are really smart when there big. I'd love a massive tank for some big ones. It's funny watching the small ones so the big ones would be even better 8)
 
I've now got a mini-cycle. Bah humbug. My bristles aren't happy bunnies - but they don't like to be moved so that may be some of it. The barbs are all fine - although my male Odessa is still a bit skitish.

Anyway, the nitrite is barely reading and the ammonia is about 0.2ppm so not great but not a big deal yet. Still worth keeping a close eye on things.

Ok Ammonia now zero and nitrite up - mini-cycle progressing nicely :)

All fish present and correct - the male Odessa is still skitish. But seems to be calming a bit.

I've had to box in the tank stand to stop the kitten playing with the wires! Only now he jumps up with his front paws holding on to the top of the wire and his back legs dangling down the front of the cardboard and hangs there watching the fish. Daft cat - it can't be comfortable ;)

I'm starting to feel the need to set up my Rio again! Corys are calling to me :D
 
Good, good.

Sorry should have warned you about the wires :p He used to sit on my ledge onm the fish tank and watch the fish :laugh:
 
cat TV :D

So did you pop in to UDA when you went through to St A's the other day?
 
Yeah we did. | fair size place now, Wasnt impressed with the fish they imported though. Plus these losts of empty tanks. Looks like I'll need to go back later when they have got it all up and running ;)
