kavan-k Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Took a headstagger earlier this week and decided to buy a load of fish tanks of a guy, two big ones, one of them is his main tank and the other is for breeding, its full of baby fish its crazy lol and then two smaller empty ones, just wondering if anybody has a fish tank, and whats yours like? I will post pics up later, looking ideas, advice etc.. always wanted one, im just starting out so I dont think the whole marine tank, tropical tank would suit? Any advice will be appreciated and post pics if you have one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, well I noticed the big tank is pretty dark, will led lights and brighter stones make it better or is it all in the glass? And are you limited to the fish in shops around you or can you get them from the net? Lol. I will take pics of the fish in it and you can maybe tell me what I have!

maddox710 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It will most likely be the lights mate a strong light bar will help, also picking the right colour substrate and rocks To contrast against each other, what fish have got? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
