Cool.

Have you tried a full tank view?

It's given me an insight into owning a Plec. Does it ever move when the light is on?

Too bad the computer is in the computer room ... I have a webcam and a computer that has broadband. The computer room is on the first floor and my room is on the second floor. urgh. The torture of not having a computer in my room. But nice fish cam just saw that fish that has the black eye pass... So exciting.

and no he doesnt really, but he's new so maybe settling in.
i dont have any bogwood yet. he just sits around all day maybe moving a little bit now and then

Ummm... I think you should buy another 10gallon tank for your guppies. Because your tetra needs more than 4 of its kind. It's a schooling fish that needs to be in a group of 4 or more. Plus soon your tank is going to be over loaded with guppies. You already have 10+ guppies which are what... 12-15 guppies including babies. If your going with the 1inch per gallon rule then you must know that your quite overstocked. Try buying another tank and transferring the guppies will give you more space for more tetras.

Good Luck With Your Webcam!

yes im very 'overstocked' but i prefer to go by the rule of are the fish happy.

guppies are tiny compared to the size of the tank, and babies move on to other people.

i upgraded from an 8g to a 20g a couple of months ago.

1 X-Ray Tetra
1 Silver Dollar
2 Scissortails
1 BIG Common Plec

those were all 'rescued' from an 8g which wasnt wanted anymore. thats why there's a few odds and ends! the plec had lived in the 8g all his life, so he's in a much better home now, even if its not an ideal size.

i will upgrade again, when i have funds!
