well i had a busy weekend so far bought my first group of fish to start to stock up my tank.
saturday started with a trip to a small local fish shop which resulted in the purchase of the
3 kissing gourami and two my delight they also had amano shrimp in stock and althow i know was maybe a little rash choice to buy so soon i found that i had soon bought 8 of them and one ruby shark.
sunday started with a trip to my local maiden head aquatics and reading a few good things about them on here,
which resulted in the purchase of one gold nugget plec and 3 clown loaches.
iam please to report that all have settled well into the tank and seem very active (althow the bigger of the clown loach seems to be very reclusive dont see him to much he seems to hide away inside the sunken ship.All of them i have bought are the small little babies (i did have the option to buy bigger clown loach and bigger plec).
The shrimp are keeping me highly amused as they explore ever cm of the tank and dont stand for any of the fish being in there way they simply either move them out there way or walk right over them :rotfl:
pics will follow later when iam home for work. :)

seems i spoke to soon returned home to not find two of the loaches , decided that something wasnt right so removed my big sunken ship to see one float out dead then when removeing the boat discoverd the second one stuck hard it part of the inside moulding after 10 mins franticaly trying to free him success and he swam off just hope he recovers and the sunken ship has come out of tank for alterations :(
