It was a really good deal actually. Tank with stand, lights, filter and heater = £80 from Dobbies Garden Centre.

I was going to ask you if you wanted some molly fry as I'm overstocked then I noticed this!!! My fry tank burst a couple of weeks ago so they're now in with the adults. How old are your fry? They look about the same size as my oldest ones which are around 6 months. They're mostly dalmations too, with a few silver ones. Funnily enough I was blaming my 3 year old for the water all over the floor, then I found the big crack in the bottom of the tank *blush*.

Gorgeous tank, puts mine to shame.

P.S Wasn't really going to ask you, not til I take care of what appears to be a slight problem.

Hi DiscusLova,

The plant on the surface is Hydrocotyle Leucocephala. It is very undemanding and grows well in almost any conditions. It is happy as a floating plant or planted in the substrate.

Heres a tip for you. If you plant it horizontally (you'll see lots of sets of roots hanging down), each root will send a shoot to the surface. good.gif

Not much to report on this one at the moment, but thanks for being interested. I've taken the Hydrocotyle off the top of the tank, it was making it too dark, thats about it really.

More updates soon (i hope). It may be turning into a nano reef at some point soon. Watch this space!

Hi Shelagh,

The light was with the tank and included in the price. Go on, you know you want to?

Thanks for your comments, and yes, Stella is dangerous!!! beer.gif laugh.gif

Cheers good.gif
