It's been awhile since I posted anything so why not an update! My tanks been doing great bright green plants make me happy along with bright colored fish.
5g Update:
Stock: 3 Fire Red Cherries 1 Ramshorn snail
I haven't been able to find anymore Fire Reds for awhile, I did at one point, but wasn't going to spend $7 each per shrimp from a different store. I spend $4 on mine from work. I might mix CRS or Yellow shrimp with my Fire Reds is that possible? I can't think of a small fish that won't harm he shrimps either, any ideas?
20g update:
The light on the tank decided to die on me, so I have a small LED light on it till I can get a new bulb for the old light. Fish and shrimp are going strong no fighting or anything.
Stock: 1 Male Pearl Gourami, 15 Neon Tetras, 2 Kuhli Loaches(survivers from a school of 5 from the 37g), 1 Hillstream Loach(Yes I still have him, been about a year now since I got him for a 10g), 1 young Male Guppy, 1 Female Showa Koi Swordtail and 4 large Japanese Marsh Shrimp(Caridina Japonica)
I've kept neons in the past but kept only 5-6 and never seen them exploring the tank, with the 15 neons I have now, they are scattered across the tank exploring and eating stuff off plants and driftwood along with my other fish in the tank. My male Pearl had brighten up in color and his fins are now starting to branch out, when I bought him a little over a month ago, he was light in color and his spots weren't very bright. He was almost brownish white and missing a feeler. His feeler grew back and his color improved greatly! I love this fish and glad I got him!
37g update:
After the mass die off in my tank I was left with very few fish that I rehomed most expect a few Catfish and a few other fish that I moved into it from my 20g.
Stock: 15 Harleqiun Rasboras, 2 young Silver Zebra Angels, 3 SA bumblebee Catfish, 4 Platies(1M/3F), lone Corydora(the whole school died off) and 1 Flying Fox(SAE)
This tank for some odd reason will not clear up, it is cloudly. I did a few water changes which cleared it up a bit.. Then found out my cat likes to drink out of it, least she doesn't eat my fish. The rasboras seem to be happier in the larger tank and move all about the tank and are brighter and larger then most I've seen, pushing 1 1/2-2" on some.
Thats all the updates I have for now. But in the coming weeks I'll be updating my tanks in this post. But first I might see if I can get some more shrimp Special Ordered for me soon from work.
