Finally a pic. Took for ever!
Since snails poop a lot, I decided I might as well clean out this whole tank, move the Chili Rasboras to the PRL tank and give the scape an update.
Whew. Pic is still cloudy after not having the pump working. There is a ghost Betta reflection about 3 o'clock position...no Betta in the tank.
Sand was mucky.
Biggest issue was that the internal pump was almost completely plugged where the water intake grate is.
Cleaned it but it didn't work after getting it all back together and in the tank.
Then had to remove it about 6 times and unplug and re plug because the tubing and out flow wasn't cooperating and staying snapped!
Of course the plug connection is located under a table and behind a cabinet with a cord that can't extend any further than behind everything, turning me into a human pretzel.
Finally I found a couple hard thumps on the bathroom sink actually got it running and then stopped. A bunch more brown chunky muck came out of it. Thumped it again though more lightly and it sputtered, and finally continued running. Rinsed it out a couple more times to hope for the best.
Yay, and need to remember to clean that out more often and buy a new one for a replacement.
Here is the pic from when they were getting acclimated.
