Amazonian Tank...

Well, lets just say I wouldn't want to repeat a weekend like that again in a hurry. I'm not going back over the details but I lost 7 pencilfish on Sunday and I think the last 2 are not looking great. So far they've not eaten since the episode.
Anyway, after a lot of me being upset and thinking maybe I've got in to the wrong hobby, I've decided to keep going. I'll just put it down to being unlucky and not let that stop me enjoying the fish I still have and planning for the future for my little friends. I was lucky I'd got a QT for my Prestella with the bump on it's nose or I'd have 0 pencils now. Prestella is still in the main tank - looks like it is a cyst or growth of some kind. He is still swimming around happily and has no symptoms of it being a parasite or NTD, so I guess I'll let him by until it stops him swimming or eating. He's now been nicknamed as Pinocchio...
Anyway, I've decided to go ahead and get some Otos as I was planning. And I may then get the Apistos I was toying with before getting the pencils. Maybe I should have listened to myself! Anyway, more pics will follow if I do get some new additions.
And on a different note - having had the QT set up in the lounge, OH has agreed that there is room for a 2nd tank after all - but I've been set a weight loss goal to get it. I might keep track of progress on here - a bit more motivation and all that - 2 stone to lose - well, 26 lbs as of this morning and counting...
