Did you get that heater?

We never did get any pics. All I ask is for a full tank shot, nothing more... it's not that hard.

I lost a female GBR today it was raelly old. i bought her as an adult when i started this tank up and prob. was 2 years old

i do have the other gorgeous one though

and the 3 starlight PLECOS arrived DEAD Super sad Not sellers fault, just super cold here and chicagoi
super sad, i feel so sad I came home early in case they were there, they had been dropped off a few minutes/30 min ago, and box was stinking so i conclude they died at least 4 hours ago super depressed

and angry i didn't pay $15 extra for express.....................grrr.............$60 down the drain

Rest of fish are doing good. 2 of the 4 female bolivians are pending...............snowball shrimps are doing good...........i feel bad for them bc their temps are flucuating between 74-80 each day........but they have adjusted...........thank god the heater is coming in tomorrow for sure......or today!

Baby Plecos are doing good So is new nerite snail, self-cloning crayfish, and my breeding pair of angels and plecos.............im pretty sure I am going to get a batch asap............I removed ALL decor 1 month ago bc i didn't have room for babies..........but now that i do.........I am going to be putting in some slate and giant anubias again

2 years for a female GBR isn't very old IMO

 

[homedog98]

+1^^^ their lifespan is more along the lines of 4-5 years...

 

[TheFishBoss97]

idk...........2 years old when i bought her and then i've had her since i started the tank...........well, that is what my LFS said when i puchased it..............i bought it aronud 3 weeks b4 starting up the 72G

 

[Fishfriend1]

So about 2 and 4/12s years old then. Well, hopefully it's not a sign of what's to come.

 

[TheFishBoss97]
