Sorry about that. Fixed it.

I know we all have our own choices of "dither" fish. Whats your personal favorite for our Loaches? Mine has to be the Rasboras and Danio's, with the odd Barb. Whats yours?

A valid point. A day without the tank lights on wont harm anyone.

Low odour paint shouldn't pose a real problem. What i personally did was to use a electric fan to blow the fumes away from the tank and opened a window. I covered the tank with a blanket to reduce the chance of fumes getting in the tank. And also switched off any "air pumps"

Lovely!!

Graeme.

Thanks. Yes, Emma. Very peaceful and always out and about.

Heheh! Never thought of that one, JD.



Graeme.

Anyways! I'll show the progress of their growth for all to see.

Show us your Loach Room!
