The Altums arrived this morning. I found out they would be coming a 1:30 a.m. this morning. I got up on about 3 hours sleep and had to do a major water change and maint. on the tank before adding the fish.
The fish are lovely and very healthy. My lone surviving adult altum had been moping for some time. the new fish perked it up. However the adults is larger than the 8 new kids combined. The kids are a bit nervous around the big guy, but I expect this will pas with a bit of time.
I got a bit slowed on the summer tanks as I needed to use one as an H tank to treat a large clown loach with wasting disease. Tomorrow will end the first round of Flubendazole treatment. i will then monitor the patient and hope it eats and poops so I can return it to the 150 with its buddies.
The filters in the bio-farm are close to ready and I need to make a plan for stocking the terrace tanks with fish for sale.
