Just finished setting this up.

[Roscopecotrain]

So CC has been on about getting fish for ages now and we saw this little tank and could not resist it. Only 20l so not massive but big enough for a few fish.

Had tropical years ago and now back into it. Letting it settle for a week and then fish next weekend.

Very nice, Roscopecotrain, great entertainment.......for the pussers!

[Clivia]

[Roscopecotrain]

I know we shall see what happens when the fish arrive lol.

[blakey]

They're gonna be bloody big fish if them eggs are anything to go by

And you'll see quite quickly, I'd imagine. So, keep your camera handy, Roscopecotrain, as you'll have a video to post.

Is it not a little small for fish Roscopecotrain? I'm trying to look at this from a fishes perspective, struggling with that TBH, does a fish have a perspective?

Don't realy understand what perspective means.

Another Vodka for me, cheers

We had a lovely salt water setup then we rescued the cat.
Fast forward 2 years and after cat eating 3 fish and falling into the tank every opportunity it was a choice. Cat won fish went.
Do miss my tank had some great corrals and sea fans etc.
Had some funky bright blue prawn type crustation canny remember their name but the cat found them very tasty

I would ask the pussies what fish to plonk in it, if I was you Roscopecotrain...........After all, it'll be them that'll be dining on them............



"Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!"

reminds me when many years ago we went to this nice garden centre and saw those cute little fishlies - they looked like miniature dolphins - so we asked if a glass bowl - about the size of Ross's would be ok - the guy looked at us and said : nope for them you need a pond - they were sterlings growing up to 2 meters - we lived in a tiny flat at the time

It's a small bowl so small fish are a must. If it's freshwater, and you're water is not too hard, I'd recommend a few of these. They are Cardinal Tetras and look great when they shoal. You can buy them from 1/2 inch or so in size and they'll never grow more than 1 inch in that bowl.

You can put fish in straight away if you put some Tetra safestart in. Add it to the water at the same time as you add your fish. Don't change the water for two weeks. Then do a 50% water change. I've used it for all my tanks. Never had a death or any illness.

Just ordered myself some of that for this week plus going to drop a touch of food in to get the bacteria going on the filter.

Another product worth buying is Seachem prime. It's a water conditioner. One drop will treat the whole tank. And it will neutralise any water spikes you get if you ever have any problems.
