Spent 2 hours picking up a freebie 55. Lady didn't tell me it needed to be broke down and cleaned out before moving it. I get there and it's an almost empty tank that's been sitting stagnant for almost 8 months. You want to talk about NASTY.... It's still sitting in the bed of my truck covered by a topper. I could smell it 200' down wind earlier tonight.
Freebie tank, stand, hood, filters, python plus a bunch of other stuff. Can't complain too much. LOL just not looking forward to the cleanup tomorrow. I've had a migraine all day today.
Woke up this morning to a new batch of peppered cory eggs on the tank. That's twice this week they've left me gifts. First batch should hatch sometime tomorrow. Only have one that's turned white. Group previous to this bunch were all eaten.
Not done much today, I have had a day without cleaning so just enjoyed watching them!
Fed live bloodworm to Gonzo and my betta. The boraras got live baby brine shrimp which they go crazy for. View attachment 290060View attachment 290061
...Never got an additional DW like I was wanting so will need to take one out of the 72G.
I have a smallish couple out in the buckets, but I am worried about using anything out of the outdoor buckets in case the trouble I had before came out of the buckets when I brought things inside???!!!???
.
I'd just leave the hose run in it for awhile in the middle of the grass til most of the stench is washed out, lol. Are there any surprise inhabitants? Daughter had a Cory live in her abandoned tank for a couple months, no food, no air/water circulation/bubbler, no heater?!?
Congrats on new eggs, any way to put a upside down or side ways breeder net around the eggs to see if they hatch (not get eaten)?
Would boiling and soaking the DW help? If there is a risk (with the buckets and anything in them), maybe you should hold off adding them.
We ordered a bubbler for my daughter as an early birthday present. You guys, the snails love riding it. It's *hilarious.*

I'll have to do that.
Horace (or, more properly I guess, Hortensia) thanked Maxime for the ride by blinging him out.
