The aquarium is now basically fully occupied, although there is a little bit of room left for a fish or two if I see one at the LFS i gotta have. Neons and headlite tetras are kind of a self destructing breed I notice. They fight with each other even though they got bigger problems than each other. They also break formation at night making them easy pickings. The population has stablilized tho.
Big change was the release into the wilds of the nearby koi pond of the pictus catfish. He was too big and eating neons and such. It was fun catching him and I ended up transporting him in a beer stein. Now the only real predator I have is the BGK, but she is staying no matter what. Also put statue back in. Sometimes one of the clown loaches will sit right in his lap.
Next on the list is figuring out how to have real plants. I have a lot of reading to do, but havent the time right now to do it.
Really really really love the water change system I have. I can do a water change in less than 10 minutes with no real work, no mess, no wasted water, and i dont even have to remove the hood, just open the lid.
