Tried finding an electric sander plus a saw so I can finally clean and size the wood for both of my 10 gallons.
I did a rescape of my Cube tank today, and mixed up the decorations I have in with Buck. Took out the plastic grass tunnel and replaced it with a small cichlid cave, 5 inches diameter and 7 inches tall I am guesstimating...Looks something like this:
I rearranged the gravel I got in there so it slopes from the left side down to the right to add some variation...I've found that Buck likes it when I mess around with even stuff like that.
Oh, I also managed to make a quick trip to a LFS place and grabbed a single portion of Duckweed. I really like the looks of most water plants and I figured what better way to start my entrance into trying that out then with a weed...I'm liking the look of it so far and I think Buck is liking the addition as well. Here is hoping my Black Thumb of Gardening Doom doesn't extend to killing water plants too.
Duckweed died? Did it get submerged somehow?Well, did another WC last night. Water testing went over well, and I feel pretty good about how clean the tank looks currently. Duckweed is not doing well though, but I am spotting bright green dots of plant material floating in the tank. I think those are seeds, so here's hoping they germinate soon and don't die. Looks like I have some research on a water weed to do today.
That was the wrong link

Yeah, when I got it from the LFS some of it got submerged in the baggie. I'm assuming since you brought it up that this might have killed those particular duckweeds, right? If so, than the plants that are still alive and green at this point would be the plants that didn't get submerged and will hopefully repopulate my tank right? Thanks for pointing this out.Duckweed died? Did it get submerged somehow?
So finished sanding and painting the tank stand, added cabinet knob I bought at home depot.

Looked at Bloody Mary Shrimp today, kinda like them. They could live with my Tangerine Tigers...maybe on them. It is funny that previously I only wanted every kind of Neo shrimp and now it is every Caridina - Can't keep the 2 same kinds together or they cross breed and often the Neo and the Caridina parameters aren't quite the same. Especially not the same for serious high quality breeding tank.
Love Bloody Marys!
Where do you order your shrimp from out of curiosity?
