Ponyo in a 20 Long

[nirbhao]

Thanks, snailpufferguy and UntimelyLord.

Unfortunately our little puff did not make it.

I am so sorry to hear that... I once lost a fish to whirling disease and was devastated, so I can imagine how difficult this must be.

I went through my puffer phase years ago. They are super cool. But I never had one make it a year I don't think. Imo they are difficult. When I kept them there was no internet lol. But all the forums im on....I see alot of puffer deaths.

 

[nirbhao]

Thank you, Blue.

I know that wild caught fish are more sensitive. I'm working really hard to make their lives good.

 

[flchamp89]

Im sure you will. It a fish I gave up on lol.

 

[nirbhao]

Thank you.

I trimmed the sagittaria sublata but it doesn't thrill me. I may have to find a replacement.

 

[nirbhao]

Removed some of the sagittaria sublata from in front of the rock. I didn't notice that some of the dwarf baby tears had fallen out into the sand, so I'll have to take another picture soon.

Having a sprained ankle and broken foot makes taking pictures kind of hard.

Have you tried monte carlo?

Have you tried monte carlo?

Nope. I'm not opposed to it. The real problem with the dwarf baby tears -why they fell out - is because I pulled up the sublata that decided to not be dwarf anymore. I actually hadn't planted it in front of the rock in the first place.

Does monte carlo stay in eco complete better?

It's a little bigger than dwarf baby tears. I've tried it in eco complete and it turned out ok. It was low tech.

puff puff puff

 

[aseradyn]

They are so ridiculously adorable.

 

[nirbhao]

I switched from Excel to Metricide, and woah is that not working. I'm actually doing less light, but check out this algae! What do I do?

 

[nirbhao]

Spot treated with hydrogen peroxide. Upping CO2. Upping Metricide.

 

[nirbhao]

Looks like I'm doing the one-two punch today.

 

[toolman]

Sorry to hear that, the puffers are adorable though. Love the tank overall!

 

[TMaier]

Good luck!

 

[nirbhao]

Thanks, @toolman. @Tmaier, there are no inverts in this tank. I might take the puffers out just in case, though.
