Cheers Old Man. I've added a few more since this reply. :D

Hi I'm in my fifth week of a new 10g tank. I had 6 jumbo neons to begin with and i got myself a couple of amano shrimp and a very small leopard catfish at the weekend. Although i have plenty plants in there i'm still getting algae building up which was the reason for the shrimps. My sword...
