My Tanks

[postingalwaysposting]

This is my old tank, it was/is my first tropical tank but i have no idea of the size sorry. At the momment it has 1 male guppy and 8 neon tetras in it....

This is my new tank its a rena start up tank 25litres (uk), it at the momment holds 4 pristella tetras (x-ray tetras) while the tank is cycling, *there are only four, its a mirrored back*, the terrocotta pot was supposed to be a temporary hiding spot but its really growing on me ....

Once the new tank is ready all the other fish will be transfered over, the old tank will then be kept as a spare...just in case any ideas or comment very welcome

your fish and tanks are looking good, not sure about the gravel in the first one, not my personal choice but hey. What other fish are you putting in the 2nd one after it's cycled?

I was thinking that but i didnt want to over crowd it, i saw some lush ones at my lfs too, is it ok to put plastic plants in front of the heater?

 

[helsekia]

I have a large plastic plant in front of my heater and its caused no problems.Its not touching the heater it just hides it a bit.

thanks everyone

I will add some more plants to my new one, maybe some real ones? but not quite yet. My tetras from my old tank will be moving over in two lots in the next 2-6 weeks. and then i am going to change the gravel in the old tank and put more plants etc, maybe some bog wood if i am feeling brave, and then get my guppie some friends
