My BW upgrade

[kyryah]

Well, I got my orange male moved over a couple of days ago, and those wild girls went NUTS over him, lol. They choose mates according to sail size and color, so he was probably pretty attractive to them. He has had a few days alone with them, with a few more to go before the rest of the breeding group gets moved over.

I transfered my 4 bbgs today, and my two dragon gobies. I had to dismantle the rest of the caves in the old tank to get at the dragons, and HOLY COW they were a LOT bigger and fatter than I realized! Obviously they have been eating well and are healthy.

looking great. Those are good pieces of aqua-scaping advice

Thanks The Dragon Gobies have been doing their own rescaping since they were put in the tank. Every so often a big puff of sand comes out of one of the caves, lol.

Sweet tank... love the video!

Kinda off the subject, but when you add that much rock to the tank, do you have to make extra support for the bottom of the tank or will the glass just hold it? Also, can most shrimps (cherry, ghost, etc) live in brackish water? I really like the tank

 

[kyryah]

It is a good idea to have Styrofoam in between the pane of glass and the stand. And no, cherry shrimps will absolutely not tolerate brackish water. Ghost shrimp and amanos will.

Thanks

Okay, more pics

Full tank shots. I have some more plants and a bit of algae growth (Yay! LOL, I am like the only person on earth that is happy about algae, lol.) I had a BHA problem in my old tank, so I trimmed my vals back hard and did a 60 second soak in a 1:20 bleach solution, keeping the roots out of the solution. I rinsed them off and then dipped the in a 4x dose of Prime. The BHA is gone and the vals are doing well so far.

I don't know for sure what caused the BHA in my other tank, it is the ONLY tank that it is in out of 24 tanks. My only thought is that there was too much surface agitation. The biggest problem was on the floating parts of the vals.

And I don't have any really good new pics of the dragons, but here is a new one from today while he was attacking a piece of my homemade food and a couple of older pics.
