Yea I gave away the nerites since their eggs were everywhere: glass wall, rocks, plants, powerheads, etc. Just too much for me.Loaches lookin' good, I was going to ask if those were nerite eggs, I guess so. Fingers crossed your missing perc is just a really good hider.
I set it up when I had the main one done. All I had in the tank was a betta and some ramshorn snails. It's bare bottom and algae grows on the rocks and pot I have in there. Not on the glass walls though. I don't dose anything in the tank. Just weekly water changes with 9+ hours of light everyday. It was the pale looking male that went missing so not sure if it was my tank or it did not ship well. The pair that were shipped before this group is doing well in my original qt tank. The recent group is in a different qt tank. Yep, it's a fat gast. that beats everyone up.Is your QT tank as mature algae/biofilm-wise as your display?
That cteno is sweet, btw!
