Got a new bulb for my tank, its a little bit brighter, although, its a T12. I also gave them some organic lettuce, which they didn't seem to like very much lol. They would take it and spit it back out. Any other supplemental foods you would recommend

pics???

broccoli, cucumbers, zucchini, apple peels, pretty much anything green. mine love apple peels

 

[Aquarium1]

Tonight or tomorrow. Does it matter what kind of apple? (green, red, etc.). If tomorrows a snow day I hope to install the gfci and possibly even move (slide) the tank tomorrow. If the roads are clear I might even go to the lfs and special order those hongis.

 

[mfdrookie516]

its pouring here, i doubt the roads over your way will be clear, but not necessarily too bad to drive I only eat red apples (green ones taste too sour for me), so ive never tried any but red (and not red delicious either... too tough for me at least).

 

[Aquarium1]

Lol weird, I love green, I like sour things and I don't like red. Yellow is ok. Maybe I can go to the lfs Saturday. Hopefully I can at least install the gfci.

 

[Aquarium1]

I think I spoiled mine. They don't like apple skins either. It still isn't snowing hard yet.

 

[Aquarium1]

GFCI installed. Hope to move the tank soon (today, tomorrow or this weekend).

 

[Aquarium1]

Ok, No school tomorrow either, so I'll move it tomorrow. I plan on taking out the rocks, discarding 50% of the water, sliding the tank to the new position, add the rocks back, add the water.

you should add more fish!!!! it looks really nice though! except i suggest making the sand higher in the back (especially the back corners) and lower in the front.

I'm going too soon. The fish did that themselves. Specifically the male Red Zebra I moved the tank and rearranged the rocks and its better now.

[Aquarium1]

Thanks. I'm actually kinda looking for some blue fish since the Zebras are kinda red lol. Btw, my pH in here is 7.4
