Post by: tornmean9 on April 19, 2024, 12:42:08 PM

as i posted in new member in febuary i decided to  get my first tank a 300l tank   the cycling went well and and i been adding fish slowly

i now have
12 glass bloodfin tetras (https://www.thinkfish.co.uk/fish/glass-bloodfin.html)
pair of croaking gouramis (https://www.thinkfish.co.uk/fish/croaking-gourami.html)
1 (l066 pleco)

and now finally today i got my new swordtails which im really happy about  so far tank been going well i check the water regularly and change water weekly

problem is im already looking at new tanks and other fish ive just brought a new 200l tank that i want to fill with small fish like ember tetras and dwarf pencilfish etc

Sounds great, @tornmean9 - well done in getting it set up, established and your water maintenance regime in place.  Thanks also for the photo of the lovely swordtail.

I'm sure we'd love to see and admire updated photos of the 300L tank as a whole whenever you get a chance.

I like and approve of your "problem" - great re the 200L tank, and that sounds like a lovely plan for stocking (I keep small fish like the ones you're thinking of).

Keep us posted on both tanks as they progress.  :fishy1: :fishy1:
