On a side note, if you pay close attention to the bottom right hand corner, in most of the pics you can see 1 of the few things that has been the same since the first tank, 2 years unchanged

I've just sat down and did a head count, 1st in quite a while.. Albino Cory x 5 Boesemani Rainbow x 7 Celebes Rainbow x 5 Discus x 1 Flying Fox x 2 Harlequin & Purple Rasbora x 5 Kuhli Loach x 5 ( I bought 5 though I'm not sure how many are in there cos I rarely see them ) Lacustris Rainbow x...

Nov 2016 (Had to downsize the pic for some reason) Added some moss onto the large dw as suggested by someone on this forum and removed the air stones

Oct 2016 Starting to fill in Added a 3rd anubias to a small bit of dw I had laying around and got rid of the sponge filters cos they're a pain to clean and replaced them with air stones

Sept 2016 The swords I'd added a few months earlier, to my surprise, were still kicking although their big leaves had to be removed, the main stems with the sproutlets ( whatever you call them ) were getting a little out of control Also added a little Sprite for some surface coverage and some...

July 2016 Added some Odessa barbs

June 2016 So over the next few months I lost all but 1 discus, I did everything I could to keep them happy, 3x weekly water changes with gravel vac etc but as I found out recently, discus from the guy I got them off rarely last more than 6 weeks but whatever.. I decided that the sole remaining...

Thx guys

April 2016 If you look closely, in the back left hand corner, you can faintly make out 2 discus, they were tending to their eggs.. Added some pacific blue eyes and Celebes rainbows

March 2016 Added a few swords, a couple more discus and some torpedo barbs and got my new light

Feb 2016 After a few months of felling bad for wanting to change from goldfish, I decided to make the move, feeling pretty confident, I traded all 4 for 2 discus, may as well just in the deep end, added some boesemani to my existing turquoise and salmon red rainbow population.. Upgraded the...

Jan 2016 Decided on some used, but 2yrs dry dw so I didn't have to worry about tannins cos at 5ft long, I was gunna have a hard time finding a pot big enough to boil it in ;) The guy I bought it off ( same place I got the tank ) told me it should sink within 2 weeks, I'm still having to weigh...

June 2015. 250ltr My 1st tank at the stage I think it looked it's best, still rock'n goldfish due to the level my confidence was at regarding fish keeping Sept 2015 Same tank, 2 weeks before the upgrade, due to the tank size tripling, I needed a new filter and lots more media so I got an...

Now that my tank is a year old, I've decided to give it a thread, will basically be progress pics ( not that it really changes much ) and new additions, nothing too technical cos I don't pretend to know more than I do, I have a very basic understanding of how to keep fish and that's how I like...

Still same tank, 2 Borneo suckers and a few plants
