    small amounts...prolly a teensy tiny bit more than the endlers get at a meal (2-3 times a day) Anthony.

    Just finished partial on the 90g, 20g, and 10g. Moved the so-called dwarf sublata more toward the front in between the dwarf hairgrasses. Moved A sword toward the side right wall and pulled the myrio (sp) because I didn't like the look of it.

    Just feeding today.

    Dawn, I've been feeding them about 1 flake each (dime size) 3 or so times a day. It depends on how hungry they look when I come in here. LoL

    Scraped algae and feed. Getting a bacterial bloom in 10 gal. lights out for awhile. Will usually clear in 24 hours.

    What kind of fish are you getting?

    I got some platys, angels, 2 lil frogs, an albino cory cat and a harlequin tetra :) my tank look full now! Now I need to find someone in the richmond area with extra live plants I can have a few of... id rather see if I can keep it alive before I buy some... my favorite plant(banana) I can't keep alive. But wisteria grows like crazy...I used to have a tank full...

    Other than doing a water change and vaccuming the rocks, I fed the fish and gave them some frozen bloodworms for the first time...they loved them!

    moved the breeding cone in the 20L to the right (closer to the sponge filter) cuz I saw the two of them fluttering a bit. The females cleaning it as I type. (Fingers Crossed).

    Bought a twenty long and some tahitian moon sand to transfer the embers into. Going back next week to get a forty breeder hopefully.

    I almost got the 40 breeder but I really would have no place for it. I'm hoping I have room for all 3 once we move. I know for sure I'll be able to put up two of the 4 I have, so if I do the 30 Long and the 29 I'll be happy. Next thing is to get the filtration for the 29 unless I just use the Marineland C220 I have now, but then I'll still need something for the 30 Long. I'd rather not use the HOBs anymore.

    Sounds like someone needs 2 canisters...Isn't their an eheim one that can be run on two tanks at once..I think it's the 2080 or something like that (heavy beast)?

    If so, you'd only have one filter to maintain so you'd save on media and electricity...not to mention space.

    Whatcha gonna do with the 29 and 30 long??

    Feeding again!

    Yep but the downside to that is the price. I think that duel version was over 300. I'm not exactly sure what's going where but one will be the Swordtail tank.

    Set up the new 20 L got it all planted, except for some clado I plan to add tomorrow, trying to rearrange some things to make room for another 40 breeder I plan to pick up hopefully next week.
