Just use a old credit card for the glass

once when doing a water change i heard a slight ticking noise, i got down low to try and find the source and on a cd next to my tank was my bamboo shrimp! god knows how he got out of there lol

Great tank for my back ground I used window tint usually used for cars not only does it bring the colours out of your fish it also blocks a bit of UV coming from the sunlight that hits my tank meaning less of an algae boom, also very cheap

wash them and possibly a quick boil just to make sure they are completely clean for your fishys

hi first post here,   basically i had a spare 10 gal tank and fancied a species tank, i went to the LFS and saw a small brown crayfish probably about 1inch in a tank with cichlids having a hard time i felt sorry for him so impulse bought him. however i do not know what species it is at all and i...

when i had my adf cherry shrimp also lived in the tank and the frog maybe ate a few shrimps but i never really noticed, i did notice him munching on a few dead ones over his time in the tank but i think its a good match for tank mates

use an old membership card (like a credit card) to scrape it off the glass

jewel tanks usually have a built in filter system and they are generally rubbish tbh, they can be removed and replaced with an external canister

The best fish for this is definitely the banjo catfish i have 2 in my tank i never see them just there mouths poking through the sand waiting for food! they move the sand perfectly and remove all air pockets, my vote is for banjo catfish

I had gravel and wanted sand so I removed the gravel by hand/net and placed the sand in by hand slowly because it can take days to settle if just dumped in! made that mistake before!!

the filter systems are poor other than that great build quality

if you are worried you could always shim the base of the tank to help support it

i have ordered shrimp before and they came with no problems, over night delivery in a box with heat packs and bubble wrap to protect the bag. 

very nice looking tank!!

A picture of these "spots" may help......plus I am just curious too see your new fella!!  hope all goes well
