My tanks

[NoodleCats]

I removed the branch from the livebearer tank and readjusted the placement of the rocks and fake plants.




And put the branch in my other 20g



And some bonus photos of the bamboo shrimp and one of my twig cats

Love it!

Gotta love hornwort and anacharis... grows so fast.

Growth compared to last photo of the 10g



And my cories in the livebearer tank adore the rock slabs. they like to rest on top of them and under them.

Oh ok, that's not the red blotches I had envisioned. I thought it was like an ozelot.

Those round leaves are the emersed growth of the amazon sword i'm pretty sure. The underwater leaves look like the one you have on your forearm, oval and long, although that is one large leaf! My swords stay at about 12" long unless I give them too much Osmocote then they double leaf size and choke out the light.

The monster swords all give those giant long leaves. And theyre not done growing lol they do shade out a lot of the other plants, but ive moved my high light plants to the front where they will have the least shading.
But the swords are monsters.

The one that had the red blotches is not as large as the others now though.

Same here! I moved all the swords to the mid background and my forground plants well...in the foreground are saved from the amazon sword wrath. Nothing really grows around the amazon swords except for taller stems of hygro.

Added more branches.



Meh. More room to swim and things to hide in.

One of the filters on my 46 went down. Salvinia got caught in the motor and took it out. RIP filter... lol
Luckily it was only my AC 20, not my AC50 or AC70 also running on the same tank. So no huge loss. Always have more than one filter running on my tanks, in case one goes down. No cycle lost

But got me scooping out all of the salvinia... and feeding it to my snails in the livebearer tank haha... got some left, but not a huge amount. But that got me going and i switched up some plants.


Water cleared up. Not totally sold on this set up, ill probably move the position of the root wood once it fully sinks.


The 20 got the ludwigia from the 46. The 46 got the crypt from the 20.



Twigs loving the branches...


Snails in the 10g loving the leaf litter


Since adding more leaf litter, im seeing the pygmies more often. Theyre my shyest fish

The pygmies are sooooo precious!! I'd love to have some one day but I'm afraid Eddie would try biting them. Also I'm in love with the 20 ?

Meet Bebop, an albino sterbai. She was the last lonely one on my online store, when they come back in stock i want to grab a couple more.

But she is a hefty girl. Just came in the mail today. The weitzmani are loving her though. I expected my albino aeneus to like her better, but so far the weitzmani keep following her around.
