Rob,

They are doing well now and appear to be well over the NTD. As you can see from the two pictutres the shoal has been halved by the disease. One good thing that has come of it is that the remaining fish are putting on weight quickly, less competion for food I guess.

Cheers Dan,

It is quite a spectacle when the cardinals are in full shoal especially at feeding times. They get into quite a frenzy when I feed frozen food cubes.

The tank is a 52" effects, the frame and hood is made of alluminium. I got it about 3 years ago, the LFS had one left and wanted to get shot of it. As usual I haggled and got it for £500 in the end, the new models retail for about £1000 now. I was looking at getting another one recently until I found out the price, the new models are also available in a black frame and hood finish. The range also includes these fantastic hoods with the lights in them that can be suspended from the ceiling, they are very pricey though.

You guessed right, the lighting is provided by a blue acitinic and red spectrum based light. Best combo for showing off the colours of the cardinals.

I shall post again when I find out some more info on the tank.
