My congo thread

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

Well just set up a 20L today. Put 50lbs of sand in the bottom, pulled out some plants from Bloats tank that I couldnt get to stay down. Also was at petsupermarket and I was talking to the guy that was back by the fish and was looking at a piece of DW they had with a plant already attached. They wanted 15 bucks for the DW(good size piece) and since the plant was half dead and beat up really bad, he gave me two other plants for free that would attach to the DW, on java fern and something else(will get pics later). Well I put the DW in the tank after washing the sand and filling the tank. Went to the kitchen to get something to drink and was just looking in the tank and I found me a little surprise coming out of the DW.

I guess LR isnt the only thing that can hold surprise creatures lol

Might get lucky and it will become Congo food..lol. Btw, is the sand from Bloats tank? Be well seeded if it is but if not then mixing alittle from his tank would be perfect.
