Update!
Getting some cholla wood for the plec today. It doesn't release tannins, right? That's really the only reason I'm not getting driftwood. Probably going to plant some small java ferns in the little holes it has, I have a ton growing right now anyway.
GBR is doing lots better! Almost back to normal, really. Only thing wrong with him is that his colors are still faded and every now and then I see him trying to turn around with just his head part, like a dog would to reach his back to scratch it. He does that every now and then and then I still see some flashing going on, not as often as the trying-to-turn-around action. I don't know what it is though. I doubt it's gill flukes because I've treated 3 times for that. Anybody know what it could be and if there is any cheap medication for it?
Plants - All doing great! Of course, not as well without Co2, but still growing at a fast rate! Blyxa is growing fine, didn't expect it to do so well in a low-tech set up. My crypts both started melting at the same time, lasted for a couple days and now they're back to normal. I gave them both root tabs. Probably the case. A
Anyway, that's it! Everybody is doing great. Lots of snails of course lol. Added 120 MTS. I really don't notice any poop from the plec, probably just because he's still a tiny guy. Going to put him in the 29 as soon as I get it set up. Probably December or January. Thanks for tuning in!
