Nice tank.

Nice tank!! Make me wish I was a baby fish at your house
In our home something coming down the stairs (pets, kids, toys) would surely put an end to it!

Thanks again for the comments everyone.

Wegus, I have not put anything under my tank. Its just the tank straight onto the stand. I know what you mean though. Juwel tanks are the same. I assume they know what they are doing. (or at least i hope so!)

As for the rails, mine went on ok. One seemed a bit loose to me, but once the light was fixed on, it seems fine.

Good luck with yours.

Meds081603, i am hoping nothing will bring my tank crashing down the stairs, and if it does, after the trial i will know not to be so damn stupid again.

Thats a lovely set-up you have .. The molly fry are very cute.. You will have to put more pics up once you move the new fry in.. x

Howdy again, I decided i'd dunk the rails into some hot water to soften up the plastic. It worked... well kind of, they now "semi-sit" haha. Better than before tho. Anyway, thanks again!

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

At the moment theres about 70 Dalmation Molly fry.

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.
