Thought I would say hi my names Chris and im from Essex UK and give a quick insite of how i started with my aquarium
i got my tank off one off a ex army mate and this is how i got it as he lost total interest in it and ive now turned it into my beginners setup,
all i know is its a 2.5ft jewel tank and as you can see its in quite bad condition
i gave it a good old scrub out the whole 5 hours worth of it as i remember and this is how i got it looking that night
and this is how it stayed for a year and half and little did i know that the amount of bog wood that was in the tank turned the water a stale green within 3 weeks,i put up with the bog wood until 5 months ago and how i changed the decor . Here is a few pics to show how my tank has changed i know its not going to be everyones taste but i like how it is at the moment before i move on to a bigger tank
and then thought it still didnt feel right so i got speaking to a friend and they said they had a few baby's i could have and when he turned up i couldnt believe that there was 20 in the bag !!!! so i dropped them in after leaving them for a hour and slowly intruduicing the tank water to them and still to this day minus 4 that got eaten by my fish i already had they are all swimming happily, even so ive had a further 8 fry in the last 2 weeks.
how they are as of 2weeks ago
and a quick vid of how many i had sorry for bad quality as was on iphone and i would mute the vol as youll here my kids ect making loads of noise lol
and i added some more rocks as it still didnt feel right to me how the tank was looking
and ive added some more mollies to the tank a pair of white sail fin a pair of dalmaition a pair of orange mollies and i did have a pair of black mollies but they died within a few hours of being in the tank ( i think stress ) and finally a few pics of how my tank is today
current fish total number
9 mollies
roughly 16 guppy's think i have a possible cross in a couple of them and im passing on 8 to my neighbour
1 tetra and not sure what the other 3 are
