full tank shots

new cave for the clowns, plec and BGK.
(its the one on the left. the one on the right is jus this kewl rock with a hole in the middle.

opposite end to the cave.

Red Tail Black Shark

its funny watchin him chase one of the clowns but for the other 4 clowns to then chase after him. they really stick up for each other.

the clowns themselves.

Green Severum

Chalceus. Love these guys but apparently theyd been at the LFS for 2 years so i must be the only one lol.

hard to photograph but ive got 3 of them and there about 5"-6".

My oscar

this is from when he was in the 3ft tank but its a good photo so i thought id post it.

this is him now only about 4-5 weeks later.

hes grownin pretty fast and he loves his cat biscuits lol.

im trying to upload some videos but ill post them in a while.

Might of missed it Sam but what type of sand did you use ?

 

[SamUK]

jus some play sand from argos.


ill find a link.....

http/www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3652620.htm - bags are bigger than they look. i used 3 for my tank.



its looks nice but im gonna have to keep it really clean to keep it looking that way.


its really fine too but aslong as you rinse loads then youll get rid off all the cloudyness straght away.


unlike me.
