Just a “watching the fish” sort of day today.
It’s getting dark and I can see the countless (nocturnal) trumpet snails climbing the left side of the glass. Will do weekly water changes tomorrow.
I’ve also been keeping a close eye on the temperature of my 33 gallon recently because the heater is off for the summer. It’s stayed around 25°C or higher. Sometimes the tank reaches 30°C, in which case I add dechlorinated ice cubes and don’t temp match during water changes (i.e. cold tap only).
Frozen water and liter and 2 liter soda bottles with frozen water inside can sure help in those high temps.

Won bids for 11 shrimp will be shipped Monday.
1 Black Snowflake (Galaxy Fishbone type pattern with more lines and dots and swirls) shrimp
5 PRL SS-SSS
5 Red Galaxy Fishbone shrimp
Trying to decide which tank to add for the Galaxy Fishbone shrimp, choices are the 6.6G Edge and the 12G mr. Aqua.
Made a request for some shrimp from a local hobbyist he said he would sell me, but didn't yet follow through.
We shall see what happens.
Also in my 30g Waterbox tank, my 2 purple Mosaic M Guppys have some tail damage. Mainly one 2 big chomps out. It might be the 5 Wadai Tetra group I have in there.
So will move them tomorrow.
Will probably treat the BBA in there too, with peroxide - its awful on the Anubias.
Gonna move my White 12G Edge out of the kitchen area tomorrow.
Planning to move the 72G from behind the couch area over nearer the entryway since you really can't enjoy the fish. in there.
A fellow hobbyist has some super cool fish to sell that he raised.
Peckoltia compta- L134 pleco aka Frog Pleco
Pseudohemiodon apithanos red and black varieties aka Chameleon Whiptail Catfish, so amazing but I do not think there is enough, room with the Clown Loaches.
They wiggle around kinda like rays. Times like that I wish I had extra time, money and big tanks
