    What is this?

    I have just examined my tank while observing my tetras, to find a white stringy substance, coming from some small white balls, on one of my decorations. I have only had the tank sent up for just over a week, it has three neon tetras and three kuhli loaches, and this substance is new as of today...

    New tank - stocking.

    Hi all, I've recently got my first tank (yay!), it's 20litres, and at the moment we have three kuhli loaches and three neon tetras. I'm planning on getting 2-3 more neons, but I'm not sure what else to get. Any suggestions on nice tank mates? I'm thinking of at least one more bottom feeder...
