Halloween Tank

Filed under: Fun Tanks — Lucie Mann @ 3:46 pm

Full of Bats, Rats, Skeletons & a few Crabs!

Everyone loved our Halloween tank over the half term, all except the lady who brushed against the hands sticking out the top of the tank and screamed the shop down!

Watch out for more fun tanks – christmas next!

We must all take this very seriously – especially as fish keepers.  What makes me really sad is it doesn’t seem to be a news worthy story.  As a world we must stop our dependancy on Soya. We don’t need to use soya in the way we do. And we really don’t need to do this to our planet.

New Rice Fish

These are stunning fish – like all rice fish they only get to abut an inch long, they are so bright they show up in the tank. They are very expensive at the moment, but the price will come down as soon as they start breeding.

More information can be found here    http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=3132

and here  http://eolspecies.lifedesks.org/pages/22691

We only have a few, and yes we will be having a go at breeding them!
