Found A New Tank At The Rubbish Tip

Craig89 · May 8, 2011

Well got abit lucky yestetday when i was takibg dome old fencing to the tip. In obe of the big skips on top of a matress was a 2 foot tank in fantastic condition.

I filled it with water last night and it hasnt sprung any leeks, so ive given it a really good clean. Its going in my lounge but dont know what direction to take it, any ideas?

Hasn't sprung any leeks yet? Why, did you plant some :lol:

Oh.....you mean leaks!

Craig89 · May 8, 2011

Yes i ment leaks lol and i didnt really want to sell it, i was thinking maybe a planted scape with some cherry shrimp but i dont know which fish too add. The tank holds 50 litres so would have to be something small

White Clouds! (Sorry my fave this year)

Loads and loads of moss all round the sides, a few branchy pieces of wood and a dozen dwarf emerald rasboras, chilli rasboras or Celestial pearl danios.

I personally think White clouds should be in 3 foot+ tanks, like danios; they might be small, but they are very, very active fish.

You did well on ebay that is a great tank

matt_storey · May 9, 2011

nice tank! with that background it looks as if fish can swim through it so get a fish that likes to explore

Nice one Craig! :hyper:

I'm surprised they let you - whenever I try take owt out of the skips they start banging on about it being theft from Bradford Council. I'd have thought it was recycling at its best. Anyway, if you have no plans for it then pass it this way as the tank I wanna put my biotope in has a rather suspicious chip in it which I don't entirely trust, so it'd be well used!
