    Because you went to the stream. I have the auto picture one running so it doesn't take up all my bandwidth.

    Gratz on the inserts!

    I just fed my fish Blood Worms. They might as well be for the shrimp tho. Sink too fast for the fish to really enjoy.

    deciding where to put my DG seeing he has built a huge (4" x 6") bubble nest in the flosting plants and is protecting it like there's a female around attacking everyone who comes to close.

    fed and scraped the 90g glass canopy to get the algae off...the siamese algae eaters and denison barbs were all over it before it had the chance to hit the water!

    awesome, i have two female ball pythons.. one is a pastel the other is a spider (we think shes more of a breeding experiment though cause her markings and colors are really weird) and i have a male lemon pastel...
    fed them but never got around to the cage.. guess i will do that first thing tomorrow.
    they are so easy to care for. I love them alot cause i can play with them too.. lol. i have to touch things.. otherwise its no fun.

    Yep.

    Think I'm going to try and put the filter intake in the center of the tank. I'm not happy with how it's filtering. It seems to be missing a lot of little particles and I keep adding stuff to clear up the water.

    Finishing up dividing 2- 10 gal and a 20 gal for 8 bettas. I have a 10 gal NPT that would do the same thing. I put 2 airstones in the opposite side of the filter and water stays clear now. I do have to clean the intake every day or every other day though.

    just fed everyone lunch and am looking online to order some more food (supplies are running low).

    Thinking:
    Endlers--> Hikari Tropical Fancy Gupppy & NLS Small Fish food
    Betta--> Wardley Advanced Nutrition Betta
    Shrimp--> Hikari Shrimp Cuisine & maybe giving Ocean Nutrition Shrimp Wafers a whirl
    90g Community w/Discus--> NLS Freshwater Flake w/ Garlic & NLS Food Growth Sinking

    anyone with any better suggestions maybe?
