What's New in Your Tank Today?

thats awesome!! good luck

 

Sand in my bare-bottoms, and more sand in my 125

 

nothing new in but everything is new or atleast new to me all less the 2 years old.

 

Nice tank Noshow!

New in my tank this morning (not something to be congratulated) 4 dead glo-lite tetras and a blown out heater stuck in the on position with a water temp of 92..... Thank god that the only fish that seems to mind are the glo-lites..... I dont like them anymore in this new tank but I still do not want them dead! I am going to in the near future get a shoal of Cardinal Tetras as they withstand my tank parameters better.

 

Very pretty noshow~
That stinks about the heater Lemon, I have been having to keep a real close on my temps for the past week because since the weather has dropped off cooler my tanks have dropped about 3-4 degrees. So far no one seems to have has any ill effects from it, but I am just trying to steadily re-raise the temps for them.

 

I got a new plant. have no clue to what it is but its new. anyone know of site to look and see what type it is??

 

you can describe it and someone here might be able to help you, or just google aquatic plants

 

I have more plants that just got delivered yesterday

1 Anubias
8 Chain Swords
2 Amazon Swords
1 Ball Java Moss
9 of a stem plant I forget the name of but it is red and looks like a shortleaf starrgrass

Also on my tank is 192 watts of light and 16600 Lumens of light... Can we say, Get the sunglasses!!!

 

check under the planted section and check my 90g photos, its bound to be found in there since I have so many different types! If not try googling as already suggested

 

I absolutely love my chain swords! Make sore you leave some space around them so they can chain/branch out

 

I googled and looked to see if i could find it, but no luck. I will see if i can upload some pictures.

 

I just added 2 3" clown loaches to the 125g, and a blue mystery snail, gold mystery snail, and another angelicus botia to the planted tank.

 

added another clown loach to make it a trio.

 

Got rid of all my africans, and two of my green terrors today. added a pair of yellow variant dovii and order a pair of cuban cichlids.

 

nice! I really liked the Cuban photo
You'll have to post picts once there settled.

 

Well, after much deliberation the other night, today I am acclimating 12 Otocinclus Catfish.

They were not as expensive as I thought. Got them for $1.99 a piece a PetSmart. I also read for HOURS that night about these guys and they are perfect for what I need.

Thanks again for the advice!

 

awesome, and well done on the research, if only more people did this when buying the large species of fish!

 

Agreed. I had parameters that I needed from the fish:

Eats Algae
Does not eat plants
Does not eat Slime Coat
Does not grow to a huge size to distract from my discus
Could not be aggressive
Could live in Warm Water
Could live in Soft Acidic water

That made these guys fit that bill. Plus now I have Corys to clean up the leftovers and now Ottos to clean the algae. One heck of a pair for the "Clean-Up Crew"!!! Now I a few more Corys and a shoal of Cardinal Tetras

On a side note, I noticed everywhere the price of Cardinal Tetras jumped like a buck or 2 EVERYWHERE!!! They are like 4 bucks a fish now!?! I want like 20 of them...... that is going to hit my bank account hard

 

hmmm, try putting an add up on craigslist and seeing what turns up, or try to get a discount on a large order of cardinals.

 

Good call, I was actually going to see if my LFS (Fin and Feather) would order a large group for me.... gotta wait as I just spent like $25 today.... wife wont be happy if I drop another $50 or more..... in due time, in due time
