A FTS:
Did a WC and scrubbed the front wall. Looks cloudy in the photo but clear now.
Been getting emails about the percs. locally but mostly questions so I'm not sure I want to give them away to people who don't know how to care for them. Getting shipping supplies will most likely cost me around $20 unless I wait until spring or no heat pack needed weather to ship. Have green dot algae on the glass since I took out the nerites. I plan to add more rocks next to the intake once I get time to go to the lake to pick some up as I also took out the tiger lotus. Planning a 10g for my betta's permanent home where I can also grow some vallisneria to be move into this tank as I had his old home bare. The male percs. bite each other and females.
Finally saw a gast. on the powerhead. They usually stick to the glass walls or rocks. I rarely see them on the sand. A lot of fighting from them too. Reminds me of sumo wrestlers when circling each other and body slams.
I went to one of my LFS and found out they have some gastromyzons in stock. Even little baby gast. less than an inch. Was tempted to get 4 but no more room. Saw some cteno., I think ocellatus (which I've been looking for), and an unknown pattern for $5 each. They looked healthy but doubt they were quarantine/dewormed before put into the sale tank.
