So went for a trip today to the new MA, which was the first problem... Trying to find it! It is not listed on MA website, google couldn't find it. Luckily I found the address on the back of my pfk...
Well the 3 meter display tank has definately matured somewhat! The swords are Huuuuuuuuge and even sent out a flower shoot thing above water level. The stocking is tons of SAEs, and dwarf chain loaches for snails. There was one fish I saw which is spripey, I think amano has them n his tanks... I did ask what thy were but I can't remember what the bloke said.
The guys that work there were really helpful.
The plants were pearling loads, it was amzing like a glass of coke but did have a bit of an algae issue, a bit of filamentous on some moss and a bit of perhaps staghorn on the carpety plant (maybe glosso or the submerged version of the 4 leafed clover plant).
Guess what else the tank had???
Go on........
600 Cardinal tetras!!!
I wanted to kinda run at the tank to make them shoal, but uh, probably would've got kicked out! They did shoal in sections though...
Mmmm, there was also a wall section of planted stuff, including the HO T5 range from fluval. Tropica substrate and fertiliser, JBL range, florabase, sera stuff... Reflectors, bulbs... They had cherry shrimp £1.50!!! Tiger shrimp, red nosed shrimp, yamatoa shrimp, freshwater shrimp, SAEs, flying foxes, forktail rainbows (YES!!!), dwarf cories, sterbai cories, discus, angels, the stripy fish mentioned, assorted rainbows, platies, guppies, etc etc etc.
Well worth a visit if anyone is near!
