My 7' Hole In The Wall

[Dulcet]

Pay £5 each at approx 1 inch in size. they about 2+ inches now,grown really well. I will have to get a new Up to date video put on here. because have also move 1 of the cork trunks to make more space. The 2 crayfish and Plec are doing great too.

thats awesome mate, never would have thought of crayfish as tank mates for piranhas at all! but i guess u got so much room that the crays an pleco and hide in plenty of spaces. what are u feeding them?

Every day on raw king prawns and sprats. and once a week they get beef heart and chicken breast.

Hi All,

Well its been about 2 months since my last update, so thought it was about time i let you know how things are going.

Only have 9 Reds left as 1 run away (thats what i told the kids) they about 3.5 to 4 inches now. The 2 Crayfish are doing really well about 4 inches long now and with the tank been as big they very rarely fight. The Pleco is growing well to, not that we see much of it. Also still got the 4 Corys in there, the Reds just let them get on with they lives.

Feeding them has changed a little now to, Gone down to once a day now, mixing them between fillets of white fish, Squid, Raw king prawns and a few times a month I treat them to Beef heart and Chicken breast. Oh and Algae pellets just so they get they veggies .

Water changes seem to be a big thing around the world, I've only done 2 on my tank since it was set up. fresh water is trickled(from an RO unit) into the tank every few day just to keep it topped up, Due to the evaporation.

I'm now planning to making my water changes as easy as turn on a tap. I will be drilling a hole in the bottom tank which is the one where the water rises and falls. the hole will have a pipe going from it to the main waste drain in the house. So turn when i turn my RO unit, i will have fresh water going into the main tank 24/7,Due to that the water in the bottom tank will rise to the level of the pipe and just go down the drain. A constant flow of fresh water.

Well enough of the reading, here are some picture for the visual lovers.....
