Hi Craig,
Sure no probs you can have a few Balansae but you will have to wait a while since i'm only prepared to pull them out just before my next canister filter cleaning day, it makes a mess. I'll let you know when
GSA is still a nuisance, only on the glass and Anubias leaves. I have removed all the Anubias on the right hand side now, in it's place i have put two Anubias afzelli and an Anubias Jenny (i think). I am hoping afzelli will grow much faster and is less likely to get GSA, they do get GSA but i'm just hoping!!
The java near the surface needs to grow a bit more, it looks odd because i have cleaned and removed all the leaves from under, once more leaves start to grow and cover the whole top area i think it will look better. Also the camera flash added some more light to that area, thanks for the suggestion though

. I am thinking of moving the Crinum Natans to the center from the left side, ive been putting it off since it's going to make such a big mess.
I picked up 14 Ts. katato on Saturday morning. They are absolutely loving the tank! Co2 hasn't bothered them at all, it is set between 6.55-6.65, starting PH is 7.5. My only regret is having all the other fish in the tank, they take the attention away from the Ts. I guess as they grow bigger they will be more obvious in the tank and get all the attention. The smallest of the Ts. are around 3.5cm, same size of a cardinal tetra in length. The biggest ones are the same size of an adult bleeding heart tetra.
I decided not to treat the tank with Metro as i did not see any discomfort from any of the Ts. As soon as i put them in even the smallest ones started to shiver/dance and mimic breeding behavior. The whole day Saturday it looked as if they were playing a game to see who is brave enough to go to the surface, they kept doing circles and circles. It was obvious they were enjoying all the more space now since they came from a 120l tank.
All are eating and seem very happy.
It is a bit hard to spot them since they are very small, but if you look closely there are two little Ts. swimming in the top middle and four more in the middle far right hand side.
