Nice tank love the decor! Im sure Ive seen a post about your rescue but just a tip to help him heal up, melafix and primafix get them in the tank and he will heal up really quick But man he is in a bad way hope he heals up though

Great set up. Do you mind If I steal some ideas? lol

Can i ask what size that aquarium is. I know your sig says 150L but it "looks" a lot smaller.

In the first pic it looks as though the tank glass is overhanging the stand - that could well crack if it is.

Looks like an acrylic tank? He's probably okay.

Looks much better now

and love Billy, he's gonna be amazing when he's all healed up, good on you for rescueing him

 

[weejen]

Thank u all. Yeah he will be. U can see some regrowth already and he is a bit more active now

 

[Harlequins]

Looks fab,well done

It certainly brings out the fish colours with the black substrate

 

[weejen]

Yeah I always wondered how black made there colours better but it realy does makes the blue of the neons pop. So glad I spent a day stripping my tank was well worth it
