Meet my Babies

[Arclouvet]

I can’t get them to stay still for photos so here’s a general photos of my tanks

 

[Arclouvet]

These are my tanks

 

[charliebankston]

Pretty! And fun!

 

[Arclouvet]

Our 6.7 gallon broke we got a 20gal to replace it.

Currently our 20gal is our plant tank I’m trying to make my plants taller.

Update number 1

New Arrivals

Due to health reasons I had to quit my job so to cheer me up my fiancé Morgan let me get the Panda Cory that he said I could get E A R L Y. I’m so happy. Please let me introduce my three Musketeers! Athos, Porthos, and Aramis

 

[charliebankston]

Haha! Great names! We love watching corys, always entertaining

20gallon tank

I finished filling the 20gal and have the filter running. This is my plant nursery currently. I don’t know everything that’s in here but there’s marimo sphere, Java ferns for sure. If you spot a plant you know let me know. Also laughing Buddha blesses you. There are no creatures in this tank.

I posed the idea of 1 fancy finned koi but that’s gunna be a stretch if Morgan says yes.

[Arclouvet]

Before bed check on new arrivals.
Lead me to find Gary and Muffsies have reappeared out of no where.

Why are there chords leading to a box for an aquarium you might ask this newbie. My 20gal is planted with no fish and just minor things. I have treated the water and am running the filter. My 15 gallon is horribly gross! Sooo let me tell you about my set up here.

1. I have 10 gallons of water with heaters under this box that is also treated water.

Tomorrow is a water change. Hopefully doing research tonight. Just thought I had the extra heaters. Why not

 

[charliebankston]

Haha! Good idea!

Morning Check

New arrivals Athos Porthos and Aramis are settled in nicely, the murkiness cleared up a bit but I’m going to still do 75% water change.
All fish are accounted for but two snails are still missing

 

[charliebankston]

The snails are racing for the cupboard

[Arclouvet]

75% water change I was told there may be a bacterial spike?
Photo of inhabitants with possible ich?
Will be doing another 75% water change in a few days.

 

[charliebankston]

Yeah, just from the photo it does look like ich
