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 don’t need to use soya in the way we do. And we really don’t need to do this to our planet.

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.

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