OK - I come clean... it's a toy aquarium. Unit of measurement for dimensions and capacity of the tank deliberately omitted; they're actually mm and ml respectively.

Fishless cycle has been able to be done in a fraction of the time and fish are now in the tank. Unfortunately, they seem to be sitting on the bottom and look in need of a dose of eSHa 2000. [Have tried uploading a pic, complete with fish, but seem to have gone over the capacity allowed! Edited to add: pic shrunk and should upload this time.]

Unfortunately, I think it would take a miracle to create the space required for a real 100-litre tank, so this little toy will have to suffice in the interim...

Hahahahahaha!

I'd probably just about be able to squeeze a tank that size into my house too.

Very good! I think the poor tropicals would suffer from heart failure if they saw that huge predator, though.

If ever there was the perfect example of why you ought to read more than just the initial post in a thread, this is it.

You enjoyed that, didn't you?

You tease

fcmf · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2016, 08:06:16 AM »

The fish seem to be doing quite well this morn - no longer sitting on the bottom but I dare say the overstocking will take its toll very shortly.

Extreme_One · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2016, 08:12:00 AM »

Very pretty. As you clearly have one of each sex, have you considered what you'll do if they breed?

I was wondering where the heck the filter was!

Ohhh thats a good one fcmf hehehehehehehe.

It's good to see your new fish looking so perky today.

fcmf · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2016, 06:34:45 PM »

I'll have to say that little impulse purchase has been worth its money, both in terms of its 'cute' factor (and substitute for a real second tank) but also in terms of this thread - I did chuckle when I set up the thread and particularly when I read Littlefish's and Fiona's responses.

Fiona · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2016, 11:54:03 AM »

I was genuinely thrilled for you as I know you were struggling to persuade the other half.

I then got very confused looking at the tank in the enlarged image as I couldn't find your filter.

I actually carefully went over it several times

Littlefish · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2016, 01:16:19 PM »

It has certainly provided some chuckles.

fcmf · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2016, 11:14:47 AM »

Well, well, well - who'd have thought?! I actually need to do a weekly water change on this toy fishtank; if not, the fish don't stay afloat! I wonder if this is some coincidence or whether there's a scientific explanation...
