Good to hear that your tank is back to normal! Nothing better than a healthier tank ! ATTA girl
Is the big dude of the video a red tail shark? I liked also the tank background.. I think that I asked you this before, but I don't remember the answer, the red plant is natural?
Keep it going, nice community tank, great variety of fish, definitely a tank to enjoy , -

Hi, Edgar! Yep, that's my Red Tailed Black Shark, Tyrone. Oh and no, the red plant isn't live, but I loved the color, so I kept it. There are 4 other plants in the tank that are plastic as well. They're all against the back of the tank. The 2 tallest ones I have to help hide the air hoses, and the 2 purple/silver ones to add some color. Once my plants start filling-in, I'm sure I'll remove them, but they work for now.
I love the blue gravel! The tank is decorated beautifully! I am also keeping a shark in my 55g, but I am going to remove him when he becomes aggressive/bigger.
Thanks!
The blue gravel was my husband's idea. At first I didn't really like all the 'blue' in the tank. Of course, now that the tank is planted, the blue flows pretty well w/ the green.
I'm having a little bit of an aggression issue w/ my Shark, but it's not bad. I think as long as your Shark has his own territory, there shouldn't be too much trouble from him. Do you have any fishes in your tank that are around the same size as your Shark? The reason I ask is because mine usually torments my Clown Loach more than any of the others, (they're both around 4-5" long).
Oh my, I will totally agree with Edgar with you being a good fish surgeon. I know who to ask when I will have some parasites in my tanks.
I wish I could afford your fees though. tee hee!
And now it made sense why you weren't able to embed your videos before.. But you did it now! See! The tank is so beautiful! Oh! I cannot believe how those wisteria grew like crazy. You did a very good job my dear. I love it!
I am so happy that everything seems fine now. Sorry to hear about your harlequin though. I hope that that would be your last casualty for now.
(((hugs)))
Thanks, Daileene! Honestly, I just pretended like I was a kid again, playing the game, Operation. "Don't touch the sides! BUZZ!"
Seriously though, it wasn't that difficult. I just made sure to not accidentally grab a fin w/ the tweezers. Oh, and I have yet to see anymore signs of those pesky worms, so I guess I won that battle!
No more fish casualties, but I did lose a Bamboo Shrimp. I believe it was the one that I focused on in the video, but I'm not positive. The other one is still doing well though, so I'm not too concerned about something in the water. He was probably old.
Yeah, about the Harlequin Rasbora... I replaced that 1 with 5 more. I know, I'm bad.
Someone on Craigslist was rehoming some fish, so I traded her a bag full of plants. They made themselves right at home w/ the others and now I have a total of 9. I can't thank you enough for suggesting the Harlequins! They are absolutely beautiful!!
