    Howsit guys

    Im JoziRhino some guys might know me un the gaming world.

    So just a brief introduction
    I took my kid to our favourite Chinese restaurant and they had a nice fresh water fish tank tge and my son(2 year) did not want to leave the place so i ended buy a small +-10 ltr tabk and put in 5 guppies, this was a mnth ago ever since i got hooked on the aquarium and start upgrading my tank till now.
    So i have a
    100+- ltr tank
    Blacked out the sides and rear
    Crushed coral with some light blue gravel
    2x heaters one 100w one 25w
    3 x pumps
    3 x filters
    2 airstones

    I got in at the moment around 30 small to medium fish and 3 snails.

    I do 10% water change ever 3 days and a 50% water change ever 2nd week.

    Here are some pics [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Ok so we know you not in slaapstadt .. but give us a hint and update your location on your profile, some might argue that Jozi gives it away - I am not convinced.

    Welcome to TASA

    Going to be interested to see how this tank develops --- two ways rocks for water or loads of algae and happy fish.

    Hi and welcome. Just a heads up keep a eye on the coloured fish. They will loose their colour in time dur to the fact that they were tatood. Also keep the wayer changes up as you don't want them getting infections on the coloured part.

    Yes that's the ones. Will be sold as Colored Glass Fish. This is what they look like naturally without the ink, and what they will look like when the color fades.[​IMG]

    Welcome to the Forum

    The fish get injected with the dye.
    Loads die, and many get infections and suffer.

    IMO this practice should not be supported

    I agree...but the GLOFISH danios, are genetically modified for their colours.

    So they are the humane colourful fish.
