Keep an eye on those two, if you have a pair they WILL spawn and they WILL destroy anything that comes close to the eggs. I had huge problems with mine hahaha, awesome fish though!

thanks guys, yes they are purple spotted gudgeons, they are are pair and have spawned many times, they spawned again today, all the other fish in there have a feast on the eggs, the only thing they have smashed was 1 of the leleupi, all others are fine though, i may get another tank for them or i may get rid of them, not sure yet

This tank is about to take on yet another new look, most fish are now gone and the last will go into a holding tank today.

Its back down to a bare tank with just the krystal black sand and ill start setting it back up today.

Here is a sneak peak at the rocks and an amazing hollow log going in

Where did you source the rocks from? I had a look at some garden stores locally today, and they didn't have anything close to what I wanted.
