Your blyxa looks so cool! That's what mine looked like when I got it, but it has since turned solid green.
Is this a 30b?
Mine started to develop this just these past couple of days. 2 variables have changed in my tank: flow and lighting (better T5 HO bulbs I guess). What does the b stand for after the 30? I know many of the abbreviations on here, but not that one haha.
Definitely not wasting time. Nope.
Teasing me with those kuhlies! I want 5 so bad but my QT tank is being used by some fry now so won't be getting any more fish for a while.
Plants look really good!

30b is a 30 gal "breeder" tank. It's 30" x 18" x 12", So it's a relatively short tank with a large footprint.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a group of Otocinclus catfish. I know that they can starve easily and are wild caught. What diet would be the best to provide for them if I'd happen to get them?
Biofilm and algae. Mine enjoy various algae wafers and other foods that make it to the substrate. Zucchini is fine.
Thanks for all the info on the Otos guys. I think they would be a better option as an algae eater than Amanos since they would probably live longer.
Get them all.. otos hit up the greens, amanos attack the dreaded bba..

Do you know how long Amanos usually live? A duo of Amanos and Otos would be great for my tank.
It all depends, pretty sure Fresh2o has had one for like 4 years?? I have some over a year old..

Change of topic...what ever happened to the pieces of DW you picked up from OBX? I think that was last year or the year before that. I never ended up using mine in an aquarium. The pieces I picked up looked good but floated like cork. I threw it into a small pond outside and it took many months to sink. I pulled it out, boiled and dried it hoping to use it in the tank. However, it was somewhat soft and had a powdery residue (think of a giant pencil lead). It's probably better off in a terrarium or on a shelf. Just curious how yours turned out.

The bacopa would look good I think, nice small leafed stem plant
