Lol true

quite a few eggs will get eaten or not hatch though. from what I've heared normally mollies get a max of around 50 but you never know lol

luckily the local dealer will probably take them off my hands for me if they do lol

very nice dude, that plec is particularly pretty, if u put live platns in tho choose them carefully, he will eat things like Amazon Swords but not Anubis or Cryptocorns.

also, the aquatic frog, lol, pretty illegal to import and sell those now by all accounts. mark got one while he still worked in the shop and tells me they were then made illegal as if they are released they can survive and threaten indigenous populations. lol.

looking good tho dude!

bristle stars you wont stop man, they dont seem to do any damage so wouldnt worry. snails however, ours seem to be breeding, wee shites. and some of them can be nasty bastards, mark knows which ones so if u think there's a problem drop him a line man, he's on your side of the pond now too!

@Steve, wouldnt think he's dead mate unless u didnt mix him over. they are hard as fuck them things, would be surprised if he has just calved on ya!

cheers phill, ill drop him a pm if i have any hassle! i never got any bristle stars in the small tank but loads of astrenia (spelling) stars, those little guys breed like no1s business, some only have 2 points some have 6 lol.

i also have a little pistol shrimp in the small tank, you should hear that little guy after lights out, how something that small can make such a racket is unbelievible!

my snails are breeding in my small tank, the bristle stars are harmless and eat any uneaten food, there is a bristle worm being throwrn around the tank by the power heads as i type this lol

i picked up another couple of kilo of rock today and started on the aquascape, i have a good 150 quids worth in there now so its starting to take shape. cant wait to get some inhabitants in tho!

costing me a small fortune this hobby! holding me right back with other things :) my car will never see boost at this rate

Red Cherries are breeding! Get in!

Got 3 peppered and 3 albino corries today for the fighter cubes, some of the fighters were chasing the shrimp so their cells were dirty, so got the corries.

also got 6 more neons for the shoal, to be topped up 6 at a time over the coming weeks and months into one mammoth shoal!!!

got a sickly red fighter so have reserved the most epic white and purple VT I've ever seen!!!!
