exodus
Aquarium Advice Freak
Just got back from another trip to fishmart, and my tank is finally getting under control after lots of algae problems.
Tonight I picked up -
1 bristlenose pleco, $1.75
6 otto cats, $1/ea (I've been looking for these ever since I set my tank up in april, and finally found them!!)
2 GBR - $6/ea
1 Female Bolivian for my male, $6.00
2 Chocolate Gourami, $3.75/ea
So I've had a fun night. Also since I was having CO2 problems (3-4 bubbles per second.. what was I thinking!) someone suggested upping my nitrates a bit and I've been dosing 25ppm nitrates for about 4 days now. The back of my tank was absolutely green with algae and slowly but surely - It's dissapearing!!
I've also got a nice pleco collection now, 1 bristlenose, 1 bushynose and 1 royal. I never see the royal, I've had him for about 3 weeks now and seen him twice.. but when I do see him, it's such a treat!
But anyways, just felt like sharing. Pics coming tomorrow!
