channa ornatipinnis grow out

[hooliganATV]

this morning has been spend doing the last few jobs and sitting on my hands waiting for the snakeheads to arrive and they finally came. so this will be my grow out thread.

i ordered these last week at 2-3cm but they are closer to 2" in most cases, 5 in total and the tank is looking good and all the plants are growing so should have a good cover in a week or two. also finally for my dwarf water lettuce but didnt cover as much as i hoped but the other plants are doing the job. plenty of hidning places and stuff and they seem ok for now.

















still got a small heater in but i unplugged it ill plug it back in if the temp get to low in winter. also lowered the perpex lid so it sits in the tank by about an inch. so happy with them.

Nice setup and soon you will have a group of bottomless stomach eaters

they seem ok together at the moment but i see that changing in a month, the larger ones seem to be keeping their distance the smaller ones filling in the gaps lol
