    Small update...

    Planted tank is busy growing in as the hydro willow and bucephalandra was removed and did a rescape.

    Second tank is just running filters at the moment as I had to use the heater after the the one in the sump blew up!!! Fish will be added once I have a replace the heater so the cycle process can start, though I did use some filter media from the canisters..

    They doing well... Lost the one two weeks ago (Venustus- if I'm correct) ... He didn't look good in the morning so I monitored him and he died the evening.. Don't know what the issue was.. I checked the water and ammonia and nitrites were safe... As for the rest, they all happy.. They just so small, I want them to GROW now :D

    Update on the second tank. Got a cheap LED today and installed it. Lighting looks a bit better now. Also added the tetras from the malawi tank..

    I have sold all the larger one's already at the beginning of the month but these are new. At the most two weeks old.

    I'll bet you'll have fry from these guys with in 3 months if you take them. Also the Malawis will probably breed in about a year.

    Guppies are probably evey hobbyist first breeder. They where for me had 300 eventually

    What you mean? You don't like the curtain at the back :lol:

    I am planning to cover the back yes. I thought of painting it but don't think the paint will stay on the glass so I'll get some vinyl
