    Setting up several quarantine tanks to hold several species of fish that I am rescuing. The persons work schedule has been keeping him from taking care of his tanks so I am getting all of the fish.

    Just feeding today. The fish are still getting used to their new tank (Swordtails) so I don't want to scare them by doing water changes yet.

    scooping out all old food from 20L (they've seemed to cut back on their eating since they had those 2 batches back to back) and putting in fresh food.
    Feeding the 10g (man, they are pigs!) and the 90g.

    Moved my pom pom goldie to the 83 gallon finally :C Noticed that he's still hostile towards the rest of the fish, so I separated him again, will be giving him away to the best pet shop ever, hoping that he'll get a good home. Added two more bunches of Java Fern to my tank, it's finally planted and ready! Now I'll just wait for them plants to grow c:

    I also did a large water change in my mothers 100L community tank :D Them fish looked like they were born anew!

    As soon as you get anywhere near that 10g they all rush to the top of the tank, it's crazy!

    I'm feeding them like a total of 10-11 of those mini sized Hikari Decapsulated brine shrimp cubes throughout the day (of course making sure every bit is gone before giving them more) and I still end up needing to put some Hikari First Bites in just before/sometimes just after the Lunars come on. I've got a small fortune invested in those lil tummys! LoL

    Changed 5 gallons in the 30 gallon Swordtail tank. I'm slowly trying to get them used to the water changes again especially now that the water is pretty different.

    I did notice 1 fry though, one that was born the day before the tank move. I'm glad to see at least one made it. Maybe there are a couple more hiding in the driftwood cave.

    thing that bites about swordtails is they'll actively hunt and eat their fry.
    Lots of coverage Anthony, lots of coverage.

    Netting some plant pieces outta the 90g, watching the piggy discus that are next to me.

    Well he ended up getting sucked into the filter. LoL I had to break it down and save him. I tossed him in the Endler tank so he can grow up then he'll go back in with the adult Swordtails/
