What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

[Autumnsky]

I did nothing with my tanks yesterday but I did pickup a nice RAOK from a fellow SCAPE member in the SFV yesterday

About 10-12 bunches of Blyxa J

And a few random stems to try in my new 23G when I get around to starting it

WOW nice roak!!!

Just ordered new Eco-Complete, Prime, Flourish, Micro Pellets, and Shrimp Cuisine for my mom's Birthday present, online. Ordering her new fish - a school of 8 Celestial Pearl Danios from PC1. Going to send her a bunch of Fire Red Cherry shrimp, (and a maybe a little school of Boraras Brigittae, too) with a bunch of plants and Moss.

Finally getting to redo her tank. She is in another state and I will be visiting in a few weeks!

Found one of our CAEs dried out on the kitchen floor this morning

He must have jumped out of our grow bucket tank overnight and went to that big algae farm up in the sky

What kind of setup was your "grow bucket"?

Got two Julius cory catfish finally I bought them tonight cuz tomorrow is new shipment at store . They are only about 1 inch long so half grown ... Sighn says they get 2 inch. They are in my guppy/ Molly fry tank. After a week or two I will add them to 29 gal with 3 peppered cory cat that get 3 inch at full grown and with my 3 male fancy guppies and 5 fancy female guppies

What plants are those?

Top pic looks like Hygrophila Difformis, bottom pic I can't tell...

What is the challenge in planting them?

Perhaps you can use fine thread or fishing line at the surface of the tank as a "corral" to keep them in place (at one side/corner for instance). This should still allow light to pass through to other sections of the tank and keep curious pincers from carving up the greenery.

Oh my gosh Fresh! You just solved a problem I have been fighting in 3 of my tanks with light being blocked by these guys THANK YOU FRIEND!

Awesome! If you ever have too many shrimp, let me know

I have Salvinia and it is so small and flat the fishing line does not always contain it. I usually just scoop it out.

Thanks fresh i removed it ...lol cant stand it floating kept thinking i need to plant it again...

I got my yellow neo shrimp in today and some purple mystery snails..

My crays maybe parents again in 3 weeks.. i saw eggs im pretty sure shes staying in her cave so hard to tell...

I also added shrimp to the cray tank gonna see how it goes.. so far so good shrimp see to not care about the crays the mystery snail is the only aware party in the tank...lol
Added hideouts only shrimp can fit ...
Fixing to research dwarf crays for my invert tank as the hubby wants more crays says he cant hardly se the shrimp...lol

Seems the Molly fry I got for free either can't handle my cheap diet or the stress from being moved a newborns has finally got to them only had them about a week and they are dying off.... I have lost a few guppy fry as well . Next time in trying a diff diet

Definitely rehoam. They need lots of vertical space and a 10g won't do it. Try to give it to a lfs for some store credit!
