Ya I’m an iPad user. And the app definitely works against me.

Still plugging away with my 65g. Nice having one tank to focus on. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/JbhiyMabSLu_Yl5Jlfqmlg.G2EUxSm6_K7StyU1FDl2Oc

Late night snacker?

I had an Oscar that would knock the top of the tank off when he wanted to be fed.

Party in the canister boys let’s go! Woohoo!

I’ve had shrimp and snails get into the canister but a whole pleco? Lol. I added sponges over my intake and now I don’t see as much in there.

I have never seen a spray bar mounted low like this. They are usually at surface level to move water and exchange oxygen for the fish to breath. When I moved my crypts from a 20 to the 65, they came out as one huge piece all wrapped together. I added to the new tank and worked sand under and...

Time for a rescale? Put them in back, feed them and they will cover that back wall. Remove any runners that pop up moving towards the front. My whole right rear is crypts. Khuli’s love it https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/QmC4ckKiTjeJZX7FLh05Nw.QYks6D_eff0caSNMzooka8

Do you have a lot of iron in your water?

I haven’t been able to attach pics for years. I use my on line photo app and add links to photos when I post. Not the best option but it’s the only way I’ve been able to get around the problem.

I think the tank is too small for the fish you already have in there. But that’s just an opinion. I would put the fish in a minimum 10G and up the school to a single species of 10. Use the 5.5 for shrimp after it has a few months of age. Put some snails in there to help the tank mature.
