I have brine shrimp eggs and ghost shrimp. I will try a baby ghost shrimp today.

I'm pretty confident that I have a male and female. So far they have eaten one young RCS, and a bunch of pond snails.

RCS . Are they leaving adults alone? That'd be cool

He was in there by accident and I noticed his body today.

They sure are cute little buggers. Glad to know its going well so far.
What do you plan to put in the tank once the puffs get moved?

Im not sure, but maybe CRS.

I just fed them some frozen bloodworms. They DEVOURED them, and now they have fat bellies. LOL. I noticed that the one I thought was a female seems to have colored up, and may be a male.

Did you order them or get them locally? Just curious because if you got them locally, you might be able to trade a boy for a girl if you ended up hosting a dp bachelor pad.

Yeah, I think they will let me trade one in if I do end up having two males.

With my CFL on top, the tank gets too hot. I had to switch back to the LED. The HC is growing well. I did get the pressurized co2 system set up, so it should start growing fast.

Are the LEDs even sufficient? My friend has had limited success with them.

How are your DPs?

Yes they are sufficient, to keep the HC alive, at least. The puffers are awesome. They are really happy and colorful. Their dark spots are a shiny blue color. I wish I could get a picture, though.

Maybe a video with good lighting and hd filming on a tripod would catch it.

A flip camera on its stock tripod might be able to accomplish it

I can use my camera that I used for the first one, which records 720p video. I already have a tripod. But what I meant is that I'm not home so I can't even see the tank.

Did you just get the HC?

 

[maxwellag]

Did you just get the HC?

No, I have had it for a few weeks now.

 

[MABJ]

I'll also add that I like the light on the spec.

 

[maxwellag]

It's still growing pretty well! I will try to get some anubias and crypts soon.
