ok so got the stand today looks awesome made of oak so it's really strong. tomorrow i will clean out the tank bc of messy turtles. then paint the places where they blue paint chipped. then ill empty the tanks put the fish in old tank water and put the new pfs over my current sand in my 10 to make it deeper and add the rest to my 29. so my weekend is packed full!!!! plus i get to go with my dad fishtore shopping so plants will be added. lowlight for the 29 and medium for the 10. excited!!!!

6-male guppies
6-emperor tetras
6-juli corys
2-apisto cacatoides(doesnt cacatoides just mean cockatoo?)
1-bristlenose pleco

 

[Joyler]

Yes it is the scientific name for cockatoo

 

[allaboutfish]

so we will both have cockatoos? what type are yours?

 

[Joyler]

I can't remember...they have the coloring of a monarch butterfly

 

[allaboutfish]

awesome!! no red?

 

[Joyler]

Not that I can see...but I think they are still young...he's really pretty! I'm sure you will love him, an they are so funny to watch! So much character

 

[Joyler]

Oh, and the BN pleco has done an amazing job with my tank! I love him though I never really see him

 

[allaboutfish]

yea so you have a pair? if so we'll get to learn how to raise fry bc they are easy to breed. i already have a 10 gallon breeder getting set up.

update; got the stand up and put my 10 and 5 gallon tank on it, but didnt get to cleaning the 29. i feel like all my fish are gonna die bc of all the stress of moving. my 10 looks horrible now with dirt everywhere. then my vacume doesnt work bc the tank isnt higher then the bucket. hopefully i can get the one that hooks up to the sink or one that has a pump.
arg i had to get that off my chest. on the bright side i get to go to petsmart tomorrow. ill pick up spme moss balls to help cycle. what else should i get? anything else i can use to speed up the cycle? need it to finish cycling in a couple of days like 3-4days im really stressed out!!!! and so are my fish!!!!! just needed to bent.

Used filter media and gravel.

 

[allaboutfish]

[Homedog98]
