    rundown

    52g FBH planted, co2,heavy filtration, 39wx2 t5ho
    I have two pairs of breeding angels,1 pair of breeding rams, 1 pair of breeding curviceps, 1+ breeding pair of black kuhlli loaches,quite a few breeding corydoras, 4 oto's and 4 dwarf plecos. I posted before about being attacked by an angel pair well after much closer investigating I found out why......I have an amazon sword leaf loaded from top to bottom and left to right just THICK with wigglers.

    I will try and get a pic but the leaf is facing towards the back of the tank and its hard to see them as it is. I havnt removed a fish nor added any, I am thinking if they have made it this far under the protection of the parents they got a helluva shot at making it to a grow out tank.

    Oh, rams laid a new clutch and my corydoras did their nastiness in public again and left a mess all over the tank. Must be the high pressure.

    half them live in the overflows on the 210 now, not quite sure how to get them back into general population.

    No pics yet, forgot really but they are still wiggling and the parents are keeping the rest the fish on the other side of the tank, down to the oto's.

    I got a few free floaters this morning, they are learning how to swim i think the male keeps picking them up off the gravel and putting them back on a completely verticle leaf.

    they scattered them last night sometime, we are rained out at work today so I came home and looked and was like "whered they go" and then noticed them spread out rather then clumped taking over the entire plant.

    I cant wait to see what I get, need to sell my hanging arms and I can get a 20H.
