Meet Lancelot

[lilfishie]

Well i have had Lancelot for a week today and he is great, he has settled in very well and seems to like his tank, i am thinking of changing it around a little, maybe live plants few hiding holes and such then maybe thinking of getting a few ADFs in there too, the tank is roughly 5.5 gal.

Anyway heres some pics of Lancelot.

Woo, he's a handsome boy!

Not sure that your tank is suitable for ADFs to be honest. They tend to go to the glass and swim upwards against it to the top for air and nose-dive straight back down again. I can see that you have a sort of blue shelf insert in that pic - and I think an ADF would end up continually knocking its head into that as they frantically swim upwards. Their eyesight doesn't seem to be that great when they are moving about as I have seen them knock straight into passing fish, thermometer etc.

Is there any way of removing that blue shelf? If so, then you could probably fit 2 ADFs in that size tank (making sure they actually are ADFs and not ACFs - I had to return my first frog as it had been incorrectly labelled up in the shop and I only discovered it was an ACF by researching online).

Anyway, all the best, whatever you decide to do - Athena
