well it has been a bit since i have said anything in here. lets see what is happening with the 55g...
well my first fish, the dwarf flame gourami got popeye and is now completely better from that. lost my adf "wh$rehouse" (dont ask about the name it would take too long to explain how it got that name lol) for about 2 weeks, but a few minutes ago i finally saw the lil guy moving along the bottom of the tank. got alot more fish than the last time i posted...i dont even think i had one fish last time i posted...maybe i did i dont remember.
the new inhabitants are listed in my sig, but i have 5 tiger barbs now, one jumped and got wedged between my light and my canopy, found him the next morning during feeding...dried stiff....so far that is the only loss.
the two bn plecos are awesome, my tank glass is SOO much cleaner than it was before i got them. they get to me though when they kick up substrate and make a lil dust storm in the tank when they get spooked.
im thinking of gettin rid of my powder blue gourami to a friend who has a tank, and taking some of his tiger barbs, since he is lookin to get rid of them and get some new fish for his tank.
hmm plant wise...yeah that isnt going so great..my wet green thumb sucks lol. i lost all the anacharis, of the two Balansae plants i had i only have one now. the Dwarf Sagittaria was doing really bad, all the leaves were yellow, but now there is a good green groth coming out of the substrate. The Congensis is doing very good, there are numerous new leaves poking out from the substrate. Java fern is doing aight i mean it is java fern.. the java moss....well lets just say if i killed that i would have taken every plant out and called it quits right then and there. i added some hornwort i got from hulkamaniac, it is doing awesome, the fish are loving it also, they have a bunch of new hiding spots, and places to relax when they dont want to deal with all the other mates.
might be going ahead and gettin co2 soon and puttin my 160w of cf light back on top. see how that helps with plant growth. im wantin to get some more plants but idk if i should try right now, just want to see how well these do, also gettin dosing schedule and needs done right now so yeah.
well i took some pics, half of them turned out pretty cruddy, but i got a few good ones. some of the fish just wouldnt sit still like good kids and get their picture taken...well i should say all not some LOL.
