Hi,
I am yet another newbie to your site!! how sick of us you must be.
I needed a place to put my over active paranoid mind at ease and this seems the place.
I have a 30 litre tank (i think the girl read out the wrong info for my tank) anyway i have 2 shubunkins a weather loach and a butterfly plec.
In the tank i have a fluval filter, an air pump with the tube with holes in at the back (cant remember the name), an amphora urn type thing, a little boat and a few plants.

I am worried about it being too small for them. looking at it now it looks tiny since i added bubbles!
When i originally bought my shubunkins and the set up the woman at a little pet shop sold me a tank that was about a foot long with no flter or anything !!!! my poor fish where just lying on the bottom so i rushed out and bought a tank from pets at home, in there the specialised fish section guy showed me one that is ok for them.
so thats my info!!
I will post a pic of my tank when i get a good one so people can see what im talking about.
:)

ha ha, silly old ashleigh wrote it in English! Every cloud has a silver lining mushroomman182.

Welcome purple_pound - nice fish you picked there, I love the weather loaches particularly. 30 litres would be about 6 gallons, I would say that you will need at least 20 gallons for when those little fellas grow up, and they don't take long. Don't worry, I was in the exact same situation just over a year ago and now I've got 5 tanks! I'm looking forward to seeing your tank, post a pic soon.
