Hi all, here's the tank as it is right now.
As you can see the water has cleared up fairly well, I have been adding ADA Green Bacter and a little Phyton Git, just because I have it, not sure whether this helped the water to clear or not. There is still fungus on the wood and some mosses though I'm not overly bothered as I think it'll go when it's ready, and I plan to get my White Pearls and Clithon Corona soon enough. The Redmoor is still very floaty, hence the rock.
I was at my LFS the other day - Maidenhead Aquatics at Morden, and it turned out it that it was their last day of trade. It's part of the garden centre there in the National Trust park, and apparently they won't allow then to renew the lease. Typical, I just moved into the area and was really happy to find this place as they have an excellent choice of micro fish and dwarf shrimp. So I pulled the trigger and got 12 Ember Tetras while I could. I got 12 as they are very tiny and I thought they'd be more comfortable with a decent shoal.
They seemed very happy for the first 2-3 days, then I changed the bulb in my desk lamp to an 11watt spiral CFL 6400K, the tank looks much nicer in this light, though the fish look more washed out and I noticed that they seem to be hiding much more, (this is one reason I prefer shrimp, they just do what they are supposed to do)! My main issue is that they won't eat the Tetra Pro Colour I bought, I ground it up and they just spit it out. Absolutely no eating. Then I tried the frozen cyclops (as recommended at the fish store) and they won't eat them either. Any help with their diet would be much appreciated. Obviously I didn't feed them the first day and acclimated them for 90 mins and I have to say they seemed very happy for the first 3 days until I changed the bulb, not sure if that's made them less comfortable.
The bits floating in the water are the cyclops. I removed most of it after several minutes of them completely ignoring it.
