New Fish Tank
« on: 17 June 2011, 23:22 »
Hey All,

I got this fish tank a while ago, letting it bio cycle before the fish go in.

It is a Fluvel Edge. Im not normally the fish pet sort of person, but this tank looks awesome and getting a few neon fish and 5 shrimp to beaver around the ground xD

Getting the fish tomorrow.

The tank is a glass block with a small opening at the top, so it looks like a block of water.

Pics of the tank:

Thats a tropical tank mate, u will need a lot of expensive gear to turn that into a marine tank!

O n shrimp are absolute fcukers! Don't get them cos believe it or not they will attck pretty much anything in the tank if it's in reach!

I had some red cherry shrimp and they looked great on the plants. They were harmless, just don't get any Chichilds (i think that's how its spelled) as they attack shrimp.

Just do your research on the fish before you by them to make sure they wont try eating each other lol

=============UPDATE===============

Right, I have gone and got some fish, I have only purchased 5 so far as so the biological cycle doesn't go haywire.

This is what I got today:

1 Siamese Fighting Fish



x2 Guppies:


x2 Shrimp (These guys are awesome xD)



I will be getting more fish/shrimp on Monday.
