  • Scrapped together a tank for my convicts

    Well they were in a ten gallon with my crawfish and I felt bad for them so I picked up a 20long I had sitting at a friends place and scrapped together a tank for them. The light is too big and the stand is too small but I think it'll work just fine for a bit. I had 2 hob filters on a the 10g so I pulled one off and that's what I'm using on this one. This tank cost me $3.76 to set up BC I had to go buy the sand. I had extra rock and clipped some wisteria(spelling?) from my snail tank to add a bit of color. Turned out nice, just need a heater now. Once they out grow this tank ill trade/give them away...

                  that might be because the roots haven't grown in yet...

                      if all the plants are floating then it would have been the convicts they love to redecorate lol

                        Haha no! I meant with a light too big and a stand too small, not crooked. It's got charm!
