^ nice!!! Look forward to seeing what you do with that tank...

And yeah, these forums are good for a a advise on almost any aquatic topic... Although that can also be very dangerous to your wallet as i have discovered over the years...

Yep found them, thanks :)

Did you keep them in there or did you take them out because they could eat the smaller fish or what?

The tank crashed one day coz i forgot i turned the Co2 up and went out clubbing, so most fish didnt make it except the bettas...

The bettas however have also since passed away, so now the tank has been left to grow somewhat wild with a few silver flying fox and an abei puffer

Most people turn it off at night for the good of the fisb since they can suffocate with co2 not being consumed
