Having seen a colleague’s aquarium and those at my local fish shop, and doing a bit of research, I decided to get my own tank for the sitting room and start to look after some tropical fish.

I ended up buying a Fluval Uno 800 Aquarium, measuring 80×30x40cm (internal volume approx 75 litres) which came as a kit of parts so I got the heater, filter etc with it.

Tank all set up and settled in, I bought six little Zebra Danios on Saturday.  Will allow the filter etc to get used to the new additions for a few weeks before buying any more fish.
