ChilDawg's Tank Specs

[ChilDawg]

1 10-gallon WalMart setup: will do research on parts.

7 Dormant Aponogeton "Cory Chews" (Aponogeton-the Madagascan Treat!)

1 male Betta splendens, "Mo"

1 pair albino Corydoras aeneus, "Albee" and "Virginia"
1 Corydoras ambiacus, "Amber"
1 Corydoras julii, "Julie"

1 Otocinclus, "Methuselah" (Because of the "No Solo Oto" thing, I feel compelled to divulge that I had originally had three, but one died of stress-related illness after a month in my tank and another was killed by Methuselah in their shared bag on the return trip to my house.)

Edit (4/22/2003): Aponogetons are growing.

Edit (5/6/2003): I found "Mo" dead when I returned from break. All signs point to him having lived a long and full life, and disease not playing a role in his death. I miss him as he was my first college fish. His humpback points to the age thing.

Edit (7/31/2003): On the day I moved home (5/31/2003), "Albee", my male C. aeneus, died. I pitched the Aponogentons on that day due to fungusing and lack of further growth relative to 4/22/2003.
I have a new red, white, and blue "Butterfly" Betta named Patriot who is now in the 10g tank and swimming around happily.
The pitcher plant died due to lack of nutrients (its pitchers had not formed and I had little access to Vitamin B1).
