I ordered some dry ferts to help supplement things as I believe I'm approaching high lighting.
I thought I would give the snails and oto some company so I bought a Red Claw Shrimp, as he looked pretty cool, and was told they like hair algae - which I'm struggling with. Within 2 minutes of introduction to the tank, he 1)Ate a ramshorn snail, and 2)had a small tussle w/ oto as he wanted to check out the new(apparently ornary) tankmate. Needless to say - after some research - he went back.
I now have 2 algae eating shrimp, and 1 RCS, probably will get some more to start some breeding. 1 Algae eating shrimp and red disappeared - I found them hanging out in my HOB - they took a ride up the pipe and survived the impeller! Alive and well- and seem to have molted to fix the damaged parts.
And this is what the tank looks like today.
