This is so not okay in so many ways.
I added 2 new plants today ....because this overgrown forest needed more plants...
The plants in my tank – December 2015
- Cabomba caroliniana
- Myriophyllum mattogrossense
- Bucephalandra
- Egeria densa
- Limnophila hippuridoides
- Didiplis diandra
- Pogostemon erectus
- Rotala rotundifolia
- Hydrocotyle cf. tripartita
The Didiplis diandra is kinda hard, it’s easily covered in algae and grows not very fast. But also not very slow. I leave it in the foreground for now. The Limnophila hippuridoides could be more reddish by now.. hmm.. maybe I need to stop cutting it and just leave it alone for a while hahaha
All my Buces look horrible :( They went through algae treatment for weeks.. I hope they’ll come back to their old beauties. Might take a year or so.
The rotala rotundifolia grows so fast, I need to sell some stems now lol Same goes for the Myriophyllum mattogrossense and the Cabomba caroliniana. The Pogostemon erectus is the green plant behind the bridge. It came as in-vitro plant in a small cup, took some days until it started growing but now it looks fine. Still need 10 cm to go though ;)

This is Ugly the betta. He was deemed unsellable due to his sickly appearance. He has spent the last few weeks in a cup without food. So I will see how he does on some frozen food in a real tank!
Well folks, I have officially graduated from college. I got a job working at an online store/wholesaler where I will have my own row of ~120 40g tanks to take care of. It's full-time with benefits, but the pay isn't super fantastic. But I get fish discounts, so I'm pretty excited.
This is by far the most accurate description of a betta I have ever read
My LFS did a thing where you get a pre-bagged mystery coral for $10 on black Friday. I got this acro, and I have no idea what kind it is. Any idea??

These are half moons I can get behind. Their fins are beautiful and long without being excessively so to cause problems.

So this batch of abandoned pleco eggs has been a struggle... First my female harassed my male for like a week trying to get him to breed, but he's like half adult size and had no idea what she was doing. She managed to lay eggs and get him to fertilize most of them, but then he left. She watched it for a few days, then left. I took the tube and put it in a breeder box with a light flow going in. A few hatched, the others began rotting and clouding the tube. I flushed out the ones that hatched so I could remove the chunk of decay they were all huddled up to. So now they are wiggling around on the bottom of the breeder box absorbing their yolk sacks, and hopefully they make it.
My BN pair have finally spawned. My male isn't quite full size, but he managed to fertilize most of these then ditch. My female stayed watching them for 2 days, and then I took the tube since she wasn't fanning them. They have a very gentle flow of water going into the tube, and look close to hatching. Check on them and hope for the best!
Anybody else make food for their plecos? I'm trying this out. It's one carrot (boiled to make them soft but not quite mushy), blanched cucumber, and little chunks of shrimp in plain gelatin. Going to see how this goes!
