    Jarring

    Lisa, That was my thinking on it as well, its a not permanat spot just a brief holiday in the filtered sun. I'm planning on giving my tank boys their own jars as wells so they can have holidays as well.

    Jarring

    Its not a permanent thing it would be mainly for an hour, two at most while I do water changes and such. The fish wont be staying there 24/7 Its not direct sunlight either, my room doesn't face the sun but also from late spring when the sun is stronger the tree is in full leaf and you can not see anything but green out my window. Sometimes I wish I could get some more sunlight into my room.

    they will only be on the windows maybe once or twice a week so algae shouldn't be to much of a problem.
  5. Ive been tossing around the idea in my head to create a kind of railing on my window sill so that in warm weather I can place jarred fish ont he sill so they can benefit from the filtered light and also the warmth. My window has a large variegated maple big tree in front of it and from mid/late spring it is screened from direct sunlight so I though this would be a perfect place to put the jars in fine weather. I do have a lot of cats however and needed a way to ensure that my jars were secure on this window sill so that I didn't have to be watching them constantly. I solved the problem today and trialled it and it appears to work excellently. I used two curtain rods and and a curtain rod holder that is designed so that you can pop the rod out when you dont need it, but for safety sake (fishy safety and cat) it cant be removed without first removing the jars. It can hold 18 jars when I stack the top jars off center as they are in the photo. So now I'm prepared and waiting for the arrival of more warm weather. IN case anyone is worried about fishing cats or suicidal bettas, the jars do have lids, I was just re drilling the hole in the lids and making it larger.
  6. I am officaly unemployed, until Monday anyway :)

  7. Can I start today again, Please

  8. I would think it should settle, do you have filters running? Although to be honest I dont have any expereince with your substrate I use a mix of coarse river sand, peat and small gravel
  9. My last full week at this job, I cannot wait until Wed 21st July!!,

  10. Hi Tex and welcome to the forums :)
  11. Hey thanks I just wish I had more room. If it wasn't for my uni books and my language books I could fit another fish shelf in my room.
