Went to the garden centre again and got the green light to get some fish.

Bought 3 clown loach and 2 black and one silver molly. Also bought a bridge to keep the missus happy. There were some random yellow fish that she wanted but the bloke at the garden centre told us they were psychos from an African lake and wouldn't get on with the other fish so decided against them.

The silver molly is a male and has been named Albert as promised.

"Albert"

Have to wait 2 weeks before we can add any more fish, and then we have to get another sample tested to see if the water is still ok.

Just read that the clown loaches should eat any snails in the tank so hopefully that should solve that problem.
