    So a lot of changes , low tech shutted down, guppies shutted down . Only running the pond, bath tub , high tech and new marine setup . The bathtub I added 2 male guppies and 3 females , rest was sold with the guppie tank . Now yesterday I got some blue japan x endlers and they are also in the tub , wanted to see what these and my blue strain will look like

    Started marine , dont want to spend so much time on the hobby anymore , every week i spend at least 5-8 hours , its much better with only the tub,pond and 2 tanks , but still only thinking about it

    Ah ok cool, wish I could go marine. Yeah, maintenance can be a bit much with too many tanks. Good luck :)

    I planned and started but too hard on my mechanic back , so I got an extra hand that could build , turns out he couldn't , had to do the bottem over and also the sides . Wasted a lot of money as the pond paint was not pond paint , had to scratch of and then got pond paint with a type of fibre glass in it , still working great . Would have done some changes but its okey for my first pond
