Old Tanks.......Bah!

Post by Graeme Robson » Thu Jun 28, 2007 5:54 pm

:evil: I've just had to temporally re-home some Barbucca sp's this evening! I dug up this old 20gal especially for these loaches and maybe a few others that i might come across in the not-to-distant future. The old tank in question lasted 5 weeks filled with water..etc.. before it decided to pack up! The crack isn't visible from the sides as it was a base crack that decided to give in. Grrrr.... I bet the wife or one of the kids dropped it or something!

It's not nice seeing a half-full/half-empty tank with water everywhere around it. :?

On the plus side! I did manage a couple of pictures of these little chaps in their Temp home.

Thanks, I was thinking about repairing the tank but it looks like it's had it. I'll have to think about something else next week.

Jamie, they only show up from photographed images. It would be interesting if they did have this redness to the human eye.
