[Steve Smith]

Well, I caved and ordered 2 sets of PM glass earlier today from Advanced Aquarium Store. I've bought from them before, and have had ok dealings. Now it's the waiting game...

Yeah, £14.99 each with £28 postage. Really heavy on the postage but I got £2 knocked off 🙄

Just on the road, heading back from MA harlestone heath (love iPhones!). Got fish a plenty! I've gone for embers in the end, out of neccessity. Cute little blighters 🙂

Not sure how many I've got. I asked my friend for 40 and the net kept swooping into the tank I also bought some fish for my nano, mosquito rasbora 🙂 Again, not sure how many, should be more than 15 🙂

look foward to seeing the pics im liking embers too, think im gonna try em soon

 

[Steve Smith]

I think there might be a few youg serpae tetra mixed in with the embers... Need to have a better look tomorrow morning though. They're all hanging about in the hair grass and blyxa at the moment. Hopefully the ottos will be OK. Not that I'm bragging, but I can't really see any algae in the tank at the moment 😀

I'm sitting on the sofae with my laptop, 😀 looking accross the room at the nano tank at them moment, with minimal lighting in the room, and I can see most of the mosquito rasbora floating about at the front of the tank. I can see how they got the name, the seem to move in such a way as to look like a mosquito buzzing around

Aaaanyway, I should get to bed 🙂 Busy easter tomorrow with family etc...

 

[LondonDragon]

What I want is photos 😉

 

[Steve Smith]

Patience 😛

I'd do some now, but they're all still settling into their new surroundings. Wouldn't want to turn the lights on and freak them out too much. On the plus side, I have my DSLR again, so can take some better pcs hopefully...

 

[Mark Evans]

pictures damn it!

 

[Steve Smith]

Ok... Picture overload! You have been warned Also, doing this on my laptop, so if they're a little dark/odd, that's why...

Still waiting for the HC to grow in more. Definitely need to trim/replant some of it. Any other tips?

 

[samc]

looking good! like the embers too. saintly said that with the hc in his MA tank when he upped the kno3 is did much better

 

[Thomas McMillan]

Those Embers look great in that last shot! They'll look even better when they fully colour up, great choice.

 

[aaronnorth]

cracking tank 🙂

 

[Tony Swinney]

Looking good Steve. Once the HC carpets this will look amazing. Whats this plant ?

Tony

 

[Steve Smith]

Thanks guys. Tony, that plant is Staurogyne sp. 🙂

 

[TDI-line]

I really like this one Steve, but do you have the patience...

 

[Steve Smith]

Maybe I should rename it "Patience (trying my...)"

Hi Steve,

Got me some embers recently and they were looking great but then disaster struck, noticed a few were missing and couldn't see any on the floor so I opened up my external and found seven of the little critters. Five are fine but 2 died and one injured. Seems Fluval filter guards are not tight enough. Since then the whole shoal has gone really timid, I guess the injured fish probably gives off stress hormones or somthing. I might get some guppies like you to act as dither fish!

Love the layout T
