Hey daz if your ever over Brentwood way go to wayside aquatics it's highly recommended. I should say it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays though. The website is www.waysideaquatics.co.uk

Sent from my GT-I9195 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I will check it out next time im down that wat, usually go to tisbury aquatics or romford wetpets.

Moved the harlequins to the big tank today, they love it! And the plecos are gone, can start to aquascape

Tank is now mostly planted (although im not sure what all the plants are so they may need to be re-arranged once they grow a bit) i bought my ruby shark and the cherry barbs everyone is much happier now although the ruby does chase the barbs from time to time such an interesting fish the angel has also got fairly big already probably doubled in size :/ will post some pics later as the camera on my phone isnt working

On a negative note, the recently cycled 28l is unfortunately being treated for white spot disease no idea how it got in there! The betta is fine though fortunately

 

[newbie_dave]

Cannot wait to see pics I want to put more plants in mine but don't want to over crowd it but not sure what to get I need inspiring cos I have no imagination at all lol

Still needs a lot of work and still a lit of fish I need to rehome hopefully will be done tomorrow. Cant get a pic of the shark unfortunately he hasnt come out of his den thisevening lol

Any advice on the plants welcome as I have no idea what they are just waiting for them to grow so I can see where they should go, will be getting rid of some of the ornaments too

 

[newbie_dave]

Looks good so far bud but do angels have a tendency to pull plants out?

 

[DazF]

Not that i've read?

Here he is

 

[Supergummy]

Red tailed?

 

[DazF]

No he is a ruby/rainbow shark as the fins are coloured, red tails only have red tails lol
