Gettin ready to do a much needed pwc on my tanks (46g bf, 20g tall, 29g, and 10g)! This is gonna take a minute lol
PWC on a few more tanks, rewound Java moss on a floating moss ball which died a few months ago. Added some Dwarf Vals and a little sword to the Betta tank. Moved red Rams horns to one tank and Blues to another! Fun, Fun, Fun!

Ended up working through the night to rescape everything and switch substrate to sand which was a longer job than i expected (had to leave fish in tank during switch), added new cannister filter and peat balls to keep ph around 6.5, trimmed back plants, dosed with ferts and then cleaned up all the mess I'd made in the process!!!!!! wasn't fun at 5am!!!!!!!!!!
Should look nice once the water clears though.

Very nice!
Pearl Gourami mine is one of my favorite fish. This one has such a sweet demeanor though I did have a Hellion Killer Pearl Gourami, which I pretty much sorry to use the word, hated...he had to go.

I bought a piece of slate for my bolivians to spawn on. Hopefully that will help them be more successful. With my luck they won't even spawn on it though... I also got six otos. What fun little guys! I'm really liking them. I'm hoping they will all make it since I hear they often die in the first month or so. They seem to have acclimated well though and are busy eating algae.

Curious to know what plants and fish you have
Made a Java Moss screen/background
I finally made one, been meaning to do this for soooo many months!!!
Then I found i didn't have the right spot for it, a little large, the plant leaves are in the way now, its been so long, lol, but shoved it in a different tank anyway!
Sewed the moss onto a plastic craft needlepoint panel with fishing line. Rinsed it and then stuffed it in the back of the tank. Used the black plastic mesh. I have 6" circles which I need to make, originally got the circles to put in the back of my 6.6 Edge for my shrimp.
Check that one off the list with only minutes to spare
