Quick Background
- We've got 3 angels, 9 rummy nose tetras, 7 sterbai cories, 2 rams, 1 adult female bristlenose, and 6 calico bristlenoses. All are juveniles except the albino BN. We also have 2 nerite snails.
-Tank is a high tech planted tank. We inject CO2, have high light, and are dosing with the EI method.The plants grow like crazy and the algae is pretty happy too. We keep putting cherry shrimp in but the angels must be eating them. On the diet of shrimp the angels' colours have really popped.
-We have 2 Eheim 2215s on the tank and a smaller internal filter that does about 56gal/hr turnover. We're currently using it for CO2 dispersal but we made an inline reactor which is curing right now but will go on in the near future.
-Water changes are 75% every 7 days.
News
The newest pending arrivals to the tank are some guppies. 3 males and 11 females. One of the males died the first night so we'll be getting him replaced. He was looking quite poor and had horrible fin rot. Didn't expect him to die though. The males are 'purple' as they were on sale and we're broke
The store didn't have any females so we picked up 12 feeder females. One died in the bag on the way home but the other 11 are doing wonderfully. Upon purchase they were all the pale silver colour but in just 2 days their tail colours have really started to come out. The females are all very small, under an inch. All the guppies are currently in a QT tank. Tank contains a heater, used filter media, an air stone, an antiparasitic, Melafix, and Pimafix. Really went for the gold there but they're in rough shape as the store isn't known for taking care of it's fish, never mind it's feeders. Their feces were white but have already turned brown. They're eating flakes well but don't seem to be up to the 0.5mm NLS pellets yet.
