Lights On Longer

[Twinklecaz]

Hi

Having my tank lights on longer for one day won't do my fish or plants any harm will it?

I'm hopefully picking up my Green Neons today and I want to clean my tank in a min before I go get them. My lights don't usually come on till 1.30 but I've just switched them on coz frankly I could see half my fish were still asleep and I need them to wake up coz a) I don't want to frighten them when I do my W/C and b) I don't want them to be grumpy and unfriendly when their new flatmates come.

It's ok is it?

They'll be fine, my lights go on at different times of the day,depending when i get home.
Days i dont work the lights stay on longer

It'll be fine

Enjoy your Green neons; I have a shoal of 18 and I absolutely love them

Hi, thanks!

I emailed the guy last weekend and asked him to reserve me some and he never replied so I hope all was well with them and he has.

I just saw a tankfull of these,I already have some,couldnt get more coz my angels would have a feast! lol
Enjoy them!

Yeah; the last batch our LFS had in were absolutely tiny. Can't be longer than about 1/2". I'm currently growing on a dozen for my mum as she has a few fish that would definitely see them as 'snack food'!

Eeek I hope they're not that small, I wouldn't trust my big Platy. I really think had my Pygmys been any smaller when I got them he'd have had them. I'm 99% sure he ate a baby snail whole.

They are so small!!!!

I asked the lady to pick the biggest one's she could so hopefully they'll be ok. Cross your fingers for me!

Hi, I got 7. All being well and all fish live then that's me at my final stocking now.

I'll try and get some pics later

 

[BackToTheFishes]

Awesome fish,liveliest tetras I ever had Good luck getting pics!

LOl I know, they're doing their nut in the bag.

Is their red line meant to be far less prominent than in normal Neons?

 

[BackToTheFishes]

Yup,mine are the same

 

[Twinklecaz]

Ah cool. I think they're happy so far, they're playing in the filter flow. Other fish don't seem to have taken any notice.
