the 10gal is a QT/Isolation/Breedind Tank so will never be set up to run as a FT tank. I do have a 65gallon tall that is sitting empty in my livingroom that needs to be slowly worked on too though!

Well time to update... and more pics

The most recent battle is with algae... specifically hair algae. Trying to get it under control with fertilizationa and CO2. We shall see.

The German Blue Rams (Microgeophagus ramirezi) spawned last night and this morning I still have a handfull of eggs... and they are still defending them... the cories seem to be the worst culprit about going for the eggs as a source of food. I have a pair of females and the both seem to be in spawning colour... so who knows.

So far the stocking situation is as follows:

50 Gallon
- German Blue Rams
- Black Neon Tetras
- Harlequin Rasbors
- Oto Cats
- Metae Cories
- Red Cherry Shrimp




65 Gallon
- Swordtails
- Serpae Tetras
- Emperor Tetras
- Oto Cats
- Dwarf Chain Loaches
- Zebra Loaches




And the happy parents




Still to get... way too much... lol
