I'll see if I can get the temp up to 80.

 

[homedog98]

Alright, temp slowly rising. It's at 79 now, and little fishy has moved away from the heater a bit. also, i've decided on a name for him/her ((s)he's my favorite fish... I think (s)he deserves one lol) so I shall from this moment on call him/her ringo star. if it's a boy I'll go by ringo, and if it's a girl I'll go by star, but these (s)he's are about to drive me nuts lol.

say it way easier.

 

[homedog98]

Yeah... But it sounds so unimportant lol.

 

[allaboutfish]

nuhuh!

In my experience, younger plecos like hanging around the heater. I even had the heater to 84. Once they get older, they stop.

 

[homedog98]

Huh, interesting! That makes me feel a bit better! thanks!

Ph still steady at 6.8... Going to get wood hopefully this weekend for star to munch on while (s)he grows out in the ten. Also looking for peat to try and make things lower Ph wise. And (s)he isn't behind the heater nearly as much anymore. temp is at 79 (my heater sucks lol)
