Aquarium Advice Addict
I know its not really a big deal, but given all the problems I've had with the startup on this tank it's a big deal to me - I have two baby platies in the tank
The first one has been there for about 2 wks and s/he's getting oh so brave - swimming around the entire tank, checking everything out. I remember when s/he was just a pair of eyes with a tail ! She chases flake foods around - its just too cute. And s/he looks just like her mom with her black nose, black dorsal fin and black tail.
The other little baby is just now starting to venture out a little. I first noticed it last week, diligently hiding among the live plants.
Both of these "kids" have lived through the 5 day Maracyn 1 / Maracyn 2 treatment and now now failed biofilter. They give me the inspiration to keep up with the water changes and they give me a chuckle when I need a laugh.
........... yeah, the trials and tribulations of having my aquarium set up again are worth it ..... they may "only be platies" but to me they are a beautiful bright silver lining to all the clouds
