5 Gal ADA Cube Garden #2 Journal

[mfdrookie516]

Do you have a copper test? Going off what Steve said, could it be possible that you had a build up of copper from the ferts?

 

[Dylan5359]

Just curious, overall how much did everything cost you? And sorry about those shrimp.

Dylan,
Everything was purchased from aqua forest aquarium. The short answer is, too much.

I really am not sure what happened... like I said everything looks very normal tonight. I think without further evidence/incident, I am going to chalk it up to the Fe. It was a few years old, that bottle... I don't think it could have been Cu poisoning, as there are such trace amounts present in flourish Fe. I guess I will see what happens over the next couple of days.

I wish you and your shrimp the best.

Did you recently clean your filter?

 

[fort384]

Not really. It has been more than 2 weeks since I cleaned the filter.

Water parameters are holding steady... haven't lost any more CRS.

New fish are in... Boraras brigittae (10 ea) courtesy of HN1 and SM! They are amazing fish, and so small. They are already coloring up nicely after their trip in a little plastic bag. I will take some pics later on tonight once they get a little more acclimated.

A 5 gal tank looks massive with these little guys in it... perfect fish for a nano tank.

Cool fish! Can't wait to see!

 

[mfdrookie516]

It's a little later... but I'm not seeing any pictures???

 

[fort384]

They have colored up a great deal even since I posted last... I will take pics a little later on, I promise

It's a little later... but I'm not seeing any pictures???

Someone's a little impatient.. Only 40 minutes later?!

 

[mfdrookie516]

40 minutes is a lot later IMO...

 

[fort384]

Ok here are photos. They are still coloring up and trying to capture a pic of them on an iPhone is a challenge.

 

[mfdrookie516]

They look great! So does the tank

 

[Marconis]

Nice, Fort

 

[Welshy]

Stunning!

 

[fort384]

Thanks guys. They are really neat fish. I am surprised they aren't more widely available...

 

[jenatron]

Looks awesome!

 

[daileene]

woohooo new fishes...very nice...

I am glad you haven't lose any more shripms. I hope that was only a one time thing.

But glad to see your new additions...SM recommended me ember tetras for my 10G later...those look like them...but probably not the same ones...how big do they get?

I am loving the tank! Cool fish
