Fozzybear Update (Pic Heavy)

INTERNAL SERVER ERROR GHAH!!!!!! :RANT:

once again, I had a very nice and somewhat comical thread made....since AC ate it now you just get a pile of pictures >.< ugh....half an hour of editing gone...

grrrrr

My little angels have colored up allot. I took about 100 pictures (seriously) trying to capture both their color and a clear picture...but alas a cellphone is not a DSLR

I got a new girlfriend for Bob the JD. She's a wee one but a fighter. I'm conditioning her in the sump of my 55 since I didn't want to set up another tank. She eats like a pig and seems to be doing really well.

Here is a full tank shot of the 55. My only problem is that my amazon swords are only putting out surface leaves. Should I wait this out or prune them? I don't mind the surface leaves and they seem to be doing very well its just that the plants seem to have stopped putting out submersed leaves.

I did a bunch of work on my sump. I realized that a PVC inflow going to the bottom of the tank is a bad idea since it holds an air bubble that severely restricts flow. I grabbed a couple of 90s from the garage and a pair of my wife's nylons and SHAZAM, I was able to go from roughly 300 GPH to more like 700. The tank and fish are MUCH healthier like this and I'm quite thrilled.

I could throw up some more in a bit...idk. In the meantime...I got my Jack Dempsey to pair up. Didn't know it could possibly go this smoothly. This time I got a gnarly mean female and conditioned her for the last 3 months. Once she got all fat and mean I threw her in with Bob...there hasn't been a single nip or fight. they're just great together. Now I think I wait for eggs.
