I still havnt got round to sorting the powerhead outlet yet, to busy watching my Sid's :lol:

I added some Indian Fern yesterday and 6 Zebra Danios just to keep the filters going, the Danios must like it because they were spawning last night and again this morning :D

I also found a freshwater Limpet in the tank the other day it must have come in with the stones I got from the Trout stream :shock:

:D

It's a jungle in there! Looking good Mark :)

I'm not suprised the zebras spawned. Same thing happened with my cheni when I got my River-Tank set up here in Toronto back in 2001. They lived in a holding tank with reasonable water movement and aeration, but as soon as they went in the 65 it was WHOOPEEEeeeee!

I bet it triggered the danios too.

Yes and all those hormones floating about in the water *might* trigger any planned hillsteam loach additions. :wink:

Looking great, Mark. 8)
