maybe you can use something like these to cover the screw heads, bunnings stock them.

 

personally i like the stick on ones, they sit more flush and stay on better, not sure if bunnings stock them though

You could have also counter sunk the holes then used putty that's stained to match the wood whatever is easier probably those caps now it's complete

Its just a practicality thing wont be around long term. Once we manage to buy a house it will be rack time :)

The blue is very nice in them, sadly i lost 1 juvie which was an extra so hopefully the loveshrimp will breed for me and give me a tank full in no time!

[OzShrimp]

Well the shrimp are settling in well with the exception of the female. I took the rock out of the tank to make sure she was still alive as i couldnt find her. Yup she was alive but appears to be very shy always hiding. The other 3 however happy to swim around lol.

 

I think its just my mug she dont like seeing through the glass but hopefully she will get used to it lol. Still a bit of a ways to go in terms of settling in though i think. THey are not overly interested in eating atm which I would expect from travel anyway.

 

Everyone hope the beautiful girl comes out to play!

[Disciple]

She is probably stressed from the trip. Also she could be trying to moult too.

 

[Mitch91]

Wow what beautiful shrimp congrats on your dream coming true, I'm still trying to find the end of the rainbow for the pot of gold maybe my dream will come true soon enough lol.
