Cant wait to see pics. this thread is awesome Well done Ale_xis

But your tank looks so nice

haha told you! same as my Danio. It disappears for days on end, sometimes I catch it lying still as anything nestled into the plants (at first I thought the worst had happened) but no its fine haha. Strange little guys

Thank you. I was getting worried it was sick but couldn't see any sign of disease

Hey guys. I have six Danios in my tank, 5 of the little guys swim around in a shoal and are quite boisterous and energetic. One of them though likes to hide inside one of my ornaments or stay very still practically inside one of my plants. It looks healthy and of the six Danios I have it is...

I thought I was missing a Danio for days until it just one day came back into the shoal! I was stumped as to where it had been for the last 3 days then I noticed it likes to hide very still in one of my leafier plants! haha

Just replaced 3 of the plastic plants in my tank with 3 live ones. Looks good! feels good and my fish seem to love them! cant believe I didn't do this sooner. Still have 3 small plastic shrub style plants in there but I'm going to wizz those out tomorrow and replace them with some nice lush...

I absolutly love your tank! I'm loving the stone face. I have some tiki faces in mine that are along the same lines. Good work bro, cool fish :good:

I'll transfer him over to my parents pond when I drive down either this week or next, he can hopefully grow to his full size and live for many years in there

haha sorry I just saw other people on this forum doing it and followed their lead My tank is 60cm x 30cm x 35cm I already know you're going to say I should go tropical. I guess if i ever get a better job I can get a nice big tank for temperate fish. Until then, can you recommend me some nice...

Thanks Fluttermoth you always seem to be on hand with the best advice :) Can you recommend any coldwater fish for a 60 litre tank? I will switch to tropical if I have to because there are some lovely tropical fish out there, I just fell in love with the carpy types and a massive tank/pond just...

*sigh* looks like he's going to the pond this weekend then, Best for him but I'll be sad to see him go, his colours where so nice! Is there any coldwater fish suitable for a 60litre tank or should I just relent and go tropical?

Thanks for the advice dBanner. I'll stick with the one shubunkin, I'm so annoyed, when I got the tank my LFS must have taken me for a sucker because the sales man said I could fit 4 in the 60litre he sold me!!! :no: The well being of my fish is the most important thing to me so I am glad I...

Cheers guys

Hi guys, I have 1 (small) Shubunkin in a 60 litre tank. I just have a few questions. I know Shubunkins, like all fish of this type, can grow to be quite big. When my Shubunkin does begin to get to big for his tank I was just going to drive him over to my parents house and put him in the pond...
