Reentry--my 45

[Tacit Blues]

I’m on a very very not strict GLA PPS-Pro schedule. And Metricide 14 For carbon. I’m not sure if I’ve put any root tabs in within the last year or not.

 

[Tacit Blues]

I really love my hatchetfish

 

[Autumnsky]

Looks like they are happily enjoying the cover of the nuisance Wisteria.

 

[Tacit Blues]

Yeah, and there’s some really nice thick crystalwort, and I sadly missed a tiny bit of duckweed so it’s trying to spread now too up there.

 

[Tacit Blues]

Just got the new shrimp to put into the other tank, but can’t forget about the Amano’s in here!

I like those hatchet fish.
Their pattern is pretty cool .

 

[Tacit Blues]

Your platinums are definitely cool too, but they’re different cool

 

[Tacit Blues]

I think I said something on another thread, but there are baby plecos in the tank too now!

 

[Autumnsky]

That seems to happen when we leave the tank alone for a period. Very exciting news!!!

 

[Tacit Blues]

The adults were half breed albino/normal, so I’ve now seen 4 brown babies and 2 albinos.

 

[Autumnsky]

Ah, variety! Any calico looking ones?

 

[Tacit Blues]

It’s really hard to tell given they’re still 1/4” long!

 

[coralbandit]

Congrats on the baby BNP !

 

[Tacit Blues]

Ok, now I’ve seen 3 albinos at once... so 7 babies? Not sure what will happen when the get bigger!

 

[Autumnsky]

You will have a pretty clean tank!

 

[Tacit Blues]

Ha. It'll be clean of the driftwood at least!

 

[Tacit Blues]

I'm feeling like I should re-open this log, since I've gotten some more fish for this tank and the BNP's have bred again. Also, I've been messing with video and made a video about the new Gouramis I got:

I think the next video I want to try making is just going to be about this aquarium without focusing on anything in particular, too. Show some of the baby plecos and whatnot. One of the babies from last time survived, it's now a 1" long juvenile. There's a BUNCH of them this time. I'm gonna get eaten out of house and home and catfish chips.

 

[Tacit Blues]

So here's a video just going over the tank in general. There's a little bit more footage of the gouramis, but it's more of just a glorified FTS

Speaking of Gouramis, I ordered two male/female pairs. They should be here in a day or two.

 

[Tacit Blues]

There’s totally been another spawn of the plecos, there’s a whole nother batch of smaller babies, including another albino.

 

[Autumnsky]

This is really exciting news. A friend of mine was always having spawns of BN and she took them into plastic tubs in the basement and grew them out and sold a bunch of them I guess (and gave some away ).

Maybe you'll be the new supplier at the lfs?
