So I just got back from vacation not too long ago. I came home to find that a piece of leaf had dislodged and plugged up my filter. My water flow was non-existant. My one ram had been attacked and had die.d. I was gone from a week. You can do the math... cardinal tetras started dying, I'm assuming. All in all... I lost my platinum ble angelfish, 5 cardinal tetra, 1 blue ram, and half of my dozen or so ghost shrimp. Ugg! I so wanted to tear everything apart and get rid of it, I was so frustrated.
Anyways... I cleaned out the filter, trimmed the live plants, and did a massive water change. Everything looks good again... colors have returned and everyone is acting normal again.
Now this is my 46 gallon tank that I am talking about. I have all live plants that must have loved the filth... my dwarf saggiteria numbers in the fifty or sixties now and I started off with only ten. I only have one veil tail angel, one blue ram, seven cardinal tetra, six glowlight tetra, and four ghost shrimp.
What would you guys add?
I'm thinking I'll get four more glowlights and three more cardinals so I Avten of each. Anything else?
