Brand new tank

[jackie]

Sounds like a good set up!

I what are you going to do with all the extra platys that will appear?

In my tank I only have 5 cherry barbs and 5 tetras. This sounds horrible, but I am just waiting for them to die off (naturally, I still maintain them) so I can move over to goldfish. With only ten little bitty fish my tank sure looks empty.

Any fry that survive will be traded back to my lfs or fed to the cichlid i'm thinking about getting *L*

I bought a set of 2ft T5 lights, which are now in, and what a difference they make to the front of the tank...very pleased with them. Eventually i will get a 4ft set to replace the current light at the back. But i really want to get a cannister filter for it before that.

All fish including the 3 neons are riding the cycle really well, infact their colours have never looked so good, epecially on the yoyo loaches!!

A few more weeks and i'll be ordering some Panda, Red tiger stripe & Bumblebee platys. They should set the tank off nicely. Then will come some more yoyo loaches to make up a school. Lastly will be some Oto cats & possible kuhli loaches
