Oliver, Greenie and Jade have finally been moved into their new tank.
Moving Oliver was a challenge. With no net or bucket big enough on hand I had to use some scrap mesh fabric I had laying around to move him. I feel bad his pectoral fin got split in the process:/
Jade spent a day in the tank before the other two were added. Since she is so small I wanted her to check everything out first.
She’s normally shy, but to my surprise she was chasing Greenie around and flaring at her! Now she follows Oliver around most of the time. He ignores her or will give a half hearted charge to get her to back off. Otherwise things have been very laid back.
Stock list
3 gts. 1m 2f
8 giant danios
1 rainbow fish
2 glowfish tetras
The only thing I’ll be adding later will be a few snails once algae starts to grow.

Looks very nice, very dramatic with the dark colours and green fish.
 
Thanks everyone :)
I wanted to keep it simple and make them the focus of the tank. I’m just so happy to have them in a more suitable home now.

Once I get some nicer shots I’ll post them. Jade looks so much prettier in person. I need to try and capture that.

Tank and fish look really nice! Have you thought of putting any low maintenance plants like ferns in there? The greens would pop and I think it would compliment the fish nicely.

Just some constructive criticism, it looks really good and you should be proud of raising such nice fish, love the females especially.
