Received my driftwood in the mail today... can't wait to get started! Only a few things left to go!!
Did my weekly 25% water change in both tanks and rearranged them. Took my holding female out and put her in a net breeder in my fry tank. Took a 1.25" juvi out of the fry tank and put it in my bigger tank. Now that I rearranged my fry tank all the fry are hanging out together now. My king tiger pleco is pretty pissed I changed the tank around and just lays under the rock. Can't wait to see how many fry i get this time. I only got 10 the last or that's how many made it till now. The newest juvi addition doesn't quite know how to act around the big fish like the one that has been in there for awhile. New is just hiding in the cracks. Hopefully will learn to not be afraid. Tried to get a newer pic of my dominate male but he just chills at the bottom now that his woman is gone. Here's one from about a month ago.
Also did a reseal on the 55g I picked up cheap. Had a reptile in it so had to get rid of the ammonia infested old sealant. Always looking for decorating idea for this new set up. Feel free to share your tank with me!
Lost one of my oldest snails in my main tank yesterday.
...old cleanest water
Well I usually get them locally - so far anyhow from hobbyists, have been searching all around and just started looking at the Bloody Mary shrimp.
Ah, just saw that last night, looks VERY impressive Wish I could get a tour...but too far away!

Just worked a lot, but not on the tanks.
Checked for tissue culture plants at the lfs, but there was nothing in good condition, last night. Have to try another in the next couple days.
Now the hard part begins.
What is the new scape plan going to be?
Oh my goodness gracious/ OMGG !!! My Amazonia tracking says it is in the mailbox, but I didn't go on Saturday. Got here in 2 days! Wow!!! I am shocked.
I think shrimp possibly, not sure at all but want to find out ?What came in the mailbox? I missed something.

You should email them, dont rinse it . Pretty sure they will send u another bag, or you could at least try it's supposed to be in small pea sizesSo the extra fish in the 46G who were getting adopted, finally did! The new care taker will be adding them to a 90G or a 120G. He gave me some Frogbit and some common Cherry shrimp. And THIS...
I was about to buy some from a store and I got this instead for no out of pocket $! Very excited about it, especially because There is that big one which will likely be the one I will put into the 12G with the PRL shrimp to tie on some Anubias Nana Petite to disguise the intake. The thin one is sooooo nice looking. He said it is from a different plant and it will degrade more quickly, but how pretty it is now!
So that is the good news.
The part which has me concerned is the ADA Amazonia substrate which I bought seems to be very soil like. I have read of varying reports of some being very much like granules/little balls and some being very much like mush. It makes me think that it depends on where in the pile your bag got scooped from top middle bottom. I feel like mine is somewhat from the bottom. It looks like the pics of the powder type...hmmm. I have been thinking about what to do with this since it arrived somewhat mushy. It seems moist in the bag with lots of powdery moist silty-ness. I fear if I rinse it all will disappear. Maybe email the seller and ask what's up with the texture.
Still have the Platy 10-12 fish in the 46G and will maybe take them to the mini auction on Friday.
