I had to get my big fourlines out of the 10gl, it was just not big enough. My 55gl with the PWC and biospira has me down to ZERO ammonia and nitrItes. It was the best thing to do, to put them back "home".
No signs of illness right now and whatever it was before it didnt seem to get to them. *crossing fingers*
I put them in a 5gl bucket and got them use to the temp. I finally dumped them in to avoid a net and they sank to the bottom. They are swimming all over and playing. It is sooo cute! I changed the tank around... Tankboss was confused her "spot" was a little harder to get too.
Tankboss took the change well and went right to swimming around and checking things out. Pranzer just sat at the bottom staring at me like I was some evil woman changing things on him AGAIN! He sat there talking and refused to move.
Tankboss came up and nudged him a few times, she kept her face in his top fin for awhile as if she was "cuddling" him. She pushed him again and he swam off with her after about 5mins of this.
These two never sat in the same hiding spot prior to this. They didn't stay next to each other ever that I saw.
The 10gl they always were together, against each other and it is like they found comfort in each other. I noticed that with them in there. They had no real hiding place and used each other.
To see them continue it in the 55gl when Tankboss came around and "helped" Pranzer out nudging him as if she was worried about him and needed him swim and enjoy the freedom they have again. It was beautiful!
I think they gained a bond while in that small tank together as mushy as it sounds.
