But.................. *L* they now wont fit into the cichlid tank....so for now they are sitting on it until i decide what to do with them.

I've also enquired with the tank maker about getting a betta tank made, i miss having some betta, but the individual tanks are a pain. This will be 4 sections (4 is not set in stone) with a bit running along the full length of the back of them which will house a heater and the filter for the 4 sections. Easier than running 4 tanks with 4 separate heaters and 4 filters, also far cheaper to run. This wont happen until next year, as the tank maker is closed for Xmas. I'm rather excited though

I've just redone the 2ft custom. Taken out the white sand. removed majority of the apples, only 3 younger apples in there now.

Now scaped with black sand and some new pieces of wood i picked up (yep i will be fighting tannins!), still quite cloudy, cause i was a bit of a slacker with the sand washing *L*

I like all those half flower clay pots - the fish will have much territorial places

very cool
