So I've done a few things with my tanks, because I've felt a need to revise a few stocking issues as well as change up a few tanks.
1) remake of the 10 gallon. I found a GORGEOUS Betta at my LFS. It was so pretty i had to bring it home right then. I had it in an ice cream bucket with an air pump for a couple days. I was originally planning to keep him alone in a 2.5, but saw a sale at Petco for some Black Neons. I have a really nice Petco by me that actually takes good care of things, and i feel pretty confident in their livestock. Ive never had a disease from them before, even in fragile fish. So i now have a 10 gallon with 1x Male Betta, 1x Golden Bristlenose Pleco, and 12x Black Neon (i meant to buy 10, but i got 12. I will only keep about 7 or so in here as they get larger.)
2) my 29 has been restocked. It now houses a single male Salvini, with a few GD as companions soon to come. This will be upgraded to a 40 when i can afford it, which should be soon as i only need the actual tank.
3) the 75 has been somewhat restocked and is remodeled. Every single fish i had in the tank before today was male; all 6 Texas, the Synspilum and the Acara. I wanted a pair of Tex so that didn't work. I took back all the Tex except the very largest and the very smallest. Then i got 2 that had the black dorsal spot,so i should have a pairing soon. I also sold back the Acara and the Synspilum.
Things i bought as of today:
2x female (hopefully) Tex.
1x Golden Bristlenose Pleco.
1x ginormous bag of fish food.
Things to come soon, hopefully:
The 2.5 gal Betta Project
Upgrade to 40 gal for Salvini
Breed the Tex
Get some Red Cherry Shrimp to breed
