Fish Fanatic
**Click pics to enlarge**
Well, after a few discussions on here and the final admittence on my part I eventually admitted I had gone too crazy and over-stocked my tank.
I decided I had to get rid of my Congo Tetra's, Neon's and 2 re-homed guppy's.
I also wanted my catfish and Cory's to play more and started to research how to go about changing my substrate to sand. After almost a day of washing play sand I eventually started to catch my fish ... not fun! Took me a fair while with my hatchet fish leaping out and flopping about like Nemo trying to get back to the sea. I eventually had the tank gutted and I began to add my sand.
In the process I had been running a Eheim 2213 for 5 weeks and a Eheim 2215 for 2 weeks so I finally took the plunge to rip out the nasty Juwel internal.
Also, the corys after having them for 10months finally decided to spawn on Sunday and we have had a few wrigglers just hatch in the breeding trap (unfortunately some slipped through the holes to meet an early death
so we invented the breeding trap tight cover!) Fingers crossed we can rear them, I will be getting a small tank soon.
Anyways, click on the pics to enlarge.

After...
Some more pics ...
I will be getting a larger tank to accomodate the Plec's in the future.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.
