Picked up a new 5" elephant nose for my 55 gal yesterday. Put him in the empty (except for plants) 10 gal quarantine tank. All is well... Go to check on him an hour later and he has jumped. The only opening is where the hob goes in. He went up and over the filter. He was dry, stiff and...
Well, they went and did it. The Dragons went and spawned on me but unfortunately the 6 fry didn't make it. Seems lowering the temp in the tank and the introduction of the blood worms triggered the spawning. Now I'm going to have to set up another tank and try it on purpose....
