Lovely loaches- I really like the patterns on your yoyos

Great photos Keep us updated.

I just noticed the tank's leaking out the bottom somewhere. It's lost well over an inch of water over the last couple of days. Looks like I'll have to rip the tank down and try to reseal it. I'm not happy

I don't think you'll get great results. Cucumber plants need high levels of nutrients to fruit well. Table two in this pdf has some numbers- way higher nitrogen and phosphate than you'd want for fish. I think the plants would survive ok, but you'd only get tiny fruit which wouldn't ripen well.

Very nice

Cheers everyone. I just got back in from work, and they're still zooming about all over the tank. It's tiring just watching them. enjoy the rivertank idea once again thanks Martin!!!!! Definitely, it's a simple design but works so well. My fish would also like to say thanks Martin :) if you have a g...

Great fish, I love that different pattern

It's unusual to have a high pH with low KH and GH, but it can happen. GH and KH are more important for the fish than pH, and your levels of these are fine for clowns. I'd stick with the water you have, and loaches should do fine provided you acclimatise them properly. I have very soft water here (KH...

I'm up to six tanks now, and it still doesn't feel like a lot. You guys are defintely a bad influence
