Nice E-Yellow tank Samir!
The white substrate goes well with the fish.
May I ask how you managed to cut the holes nicely out of the pots?

Cheers :D

i drilled them , took me an hour and the bit was blunt by the end, so I'd recommend getting something that can drill through stone.
they have started building nests, pretty cool, i guess discus can take a back seat for now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

i'll burst all the black eggs with a pin this time and only keep the albinos. i'm thinking of scaling down and only breeding albinos. its become more of a second job than a hobby.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I had to count them, I've been trying to get my egg count up. Its thanks to all the Fishtamin from Xtreme :lol: :lol: and of course Andrew Soh's book and advice.
For anyone who hasn't got his book yet, you're missing out on a lot great information.
