what are you doing today that is tank related?

feeding

 

still working on the garage! Have the parachromis pond changed water, but still not clear *arg* But I found eggs!!! Whoot! Can't believe I didn't get attacked getting that close to them! maybe cause they can't see either...lol The place where I have the pond plants, the female likes to dig around and she gets the water all muddy, I'm thinking I may have to remove the plants...sigh.

Big 600g pond is green, but clean, so I'm good with that.

Moving breeding pair of angels out into a 40g tomorrow.

set up new 55g for baby angels that arrived today, highly excited about them (DD Black X Platinum) there's 10 dime size babies and they are doing well. 55g is their quarantine/grow out tank for now.

worked more on getting the tiger endlers separated...have some males in their own 30g now.

Started a tank for a baby (we're talking nickle size) box turtle that someone found and gave me. good thing I already raise earth worms!

cleaned a few empty tanks to get ready for moving the rest of the tigers.

I think that's all I've done so far *gasp weeze*

 

Getting my tanks together. Pool sand is really great looking! (Thanx Dawn!)
If what I put in the tank makes it over night then I'll add it to all my other tanks, Including the 50 gallon. Long day tomorrow =D

 

finished mucking with the tanks, spent a while admiring them too.
like to get some more plants eventually..maybe some crypts to fill in the right front corner better...and possibly chain swords for along the front??

ps. if you got pool filter sand it will have no negative effects, nor will it muck with your waters parameters...but when adding you gotta watch it doesn't drop your tanks temp--especially if you don't have the bag somewhere it can get to be room temp.

 

I added sand to the two bare tanks (Tiger reset-up and the Hybrid zone tank)
Will work more on the Hybrid zone tank after the sun comes up. If I can wake up >.>;

Plans:
Tiger tank is pretty much done. Once I get some good plants it will be finished.

Hybrid Tank is, well awful. It's still cycling. Water changes and some additions in the morning. The Triops Approves of the sand. She was laying eggs =D

Back Bar Tank didn't really need to be worked on, but I would like them to all be uniform with sand and what not. So I'm going to do a 50% water swap and remove it's sand. Already removed the drift wood and placed it into hybrid tank for the night. Hoping it help speed things up. If nothing else I have some shrimp in there now, lol!


50 Gallon is another story. I may no longer wish to keep the Least Killies. I'll decide in the morning. I HAVE decided to exterminate the Ramshorn snails in it. Smaller ones will be crushed, larger ones will be harvested. May place three dividers into it and use it as three separate tanks for my Endler Hybrid breeding projects.


Any Thoughts?

 

looking at betta breeders online, at a school computer ,need a male milk crowntail for a 5 gal that is cycled

 

feeding and admiring. (the simple stuff)

 

fittin to go cut me up some bloodworms for the week.

 

did water changes and straighten out decor in the tanks.

 

Treating my poor, poor little baby Oranda :'c
Feedng my fish like usual, with food... my young cousins came to look at my fish today and they were completely in love (Just what you'd expect from two little girls)

 

210 water changed, rescaped, dead trim, removed all the cichlid rocks(waste of 65 bucks for my fish) filling the tank now, then adding a micron cartridge filter to the return line for polishing.

other then that, nothing else besides taking pics.

 

Was going to do a watch change on the tanks but figured I'd wait a day or so for the new fry to adjust to everything.

Uploading a new video of the 20 now.

 

About to take the 50 gallon outside for it's new body work =3

 

watching the kuhlis zip back and forth...they hid yesterday and today 2 out of the 8 are zipping back and forth across the front of the tank like "here I am" haha!

 

what I like best about them is the bigger fish you keep wont be bothered by them. I used to watch my posse literally female dog slap the snot out of them while they were sleeping, sometimes the fish would spook other times if one pangio couldnt move it a few of them could.

 

ya, the discus look at them with that "i'm not the least bit amused" look and totally just go about what they were doing BEFORE they seen em.

 

my angels were the same way. even the 1" little buggers went bothered by them so I figure they were a pretty darn compatible fish. If I were one of em id eat those little worms.

 

Just feeding today.

 

I buried my fish :'c R.I.P. Marneus Calgar :'c

 

how big was it? I used to bury my larger cichlids when I was younger cause they wouldnt fit in the toilet or the garbage can and took up too much space in the freezer.
