Hey there everyone! (Sorry in advance for this small essay lol)
Well its been a long time since I was last on this forum. The last time I was here I posted a couple of topics about breeding kribensis and what to do with the fry. Just like to say thank you for all your help back then, really helped me out.
Anyway Im a student in my 3rd year of university which means Im now back at uni and the 2 tanks that I have are at my mum's house being cared for by her. Which meant that id be fishless for yet another year while I was away at uni I kept nagging my girlfriend to get me a tank for my birthday, and yesterday (a few weeks late lol) she finally bought me one but....... Its a 30 litre BiOrb. She won it on ebay and i went with her to pick it up. The man had emptied the water to just above the height of the media on the bottom, but not sure if there had been any fish in it for a while so not sure if the media is "mature" or not. Heres a pic of it all set up.
Anyway I must say im pretty pleased with it, theres quite a few scratches on it but hey ho Im sure ill get over it. It also came with some water conditioner and a heater.
Well the first thing to do is to get this ready for some fish, will buy a test kit tomorrow.
Not sure what stocking route im gonna go down, thinking I might leave it coldwater and just have some white cloud mountain minnows in there, but am also tempted to go add the heater and put a pair of dwarf gouramis in there. Decisions decisions.....
Anyway let me know what you all think and please feel free to add some suggestions to what I should put in there.
Cheers
