Welcome to the new fish! / myLot

I have had a small fish tank in my office for some time, but since the last of my neon tetras died last year the tank has been empty. However, all that changed at the weekend when six new tenants took up residence. These are rummy-nosed tetras. You haven't heard of them before? Neither had I before I saw them at my local aquarium suppliers. They seem happy enough at present, although they like to stick together as a bunch - who knows what horrors might lurk behind that plant or piece of rock?

I had fish but it was along time ago .. They are really pretty to watch .. I like the yellow and black Angel fish I remember the tank being hard to clean ..

Yes, you do have to change the water and clean the tank fairly regularly - but you don't have to take the fish for walks!

I would like a fish tank, and Little One keeps asking if we can have one as well. I'm only worried about what happens if we go on holiday - how often do they need to be fed?

They should be fed every day - it is important not to overfeed by thinking that you can feed double one day and none the next.

@indexer Is it possible to get some sort of timed feeder?
