Getting Pepsi in a few more days. Man I can't wait for the lil guy. His home is all ready with 10 nitrates and I'll do another %50wc the day that I pick him up from the store (the 20th) Gonna get a few more taller silk plants for him to swim through and play in, and more salt >.> need more salt. And prime too...and some parizpro just to be on the safe side..
Then NEXT MONTH big overhaul of the DP tank yet again. Man those guys are gonna hate me....gonna take em out of their home, put em in the snail tank (cycled with a sponge filter....sure it's not HUGE...only 2.5 gallons but it's only for a few hours) Gonna retrofit my hood with some proper ballast/lighting kits, put some nice bright growing lights, gonna dump some flourite in and mix it up with the existing substrate, and plant my tank again. Gonna take that chunk o plastic wood out, and put in some mangrove-like roots for them to swim in, and maybe some rock caves for them to hide in as well. Once that's all done gonna pick up some Oto's and QT them in the snail tank, and intro them into the DP tank.
Soo the Before picture: for future reference
The putrid neon pink plants were from the brackish tank after I ripped out all the "Natural looking" plastic plants to put in with the GSP that just recently passed away, figure I"d give them SOMETHING....Those are going into the Tetra tank upstairs after the overhaul.
Hey Peek, do you think the food bearer is gonna get rid of those stupid pink things any time soon?
I dunno Boo, but I hope so they're really starting to bug me
Yeah I liked the old plants...
Well I heard her talking the other day and she said she's gonna do something BIG...man..not looking forward to that.
When she does something BIG...we gotta watch out.
Oh crap here comes her hand again to take out more crud...(Cyano leavings..still picking it out)
