The Oto Journal

08/26: Lots of activity yesterday and today. Found yet another clutch of briggs eggs. Baby oto's swimming all over the place. I threw in a couple pieces of zuchinni yesterday. Today, one piece was the center of attention. Oto's, shrimp and even Boris (snail) where munching.

Here's some shots:

You're never too young to munch a zuchinni:

Thought I would add this one in as well. Remember...you have to stay on for 8 seconds or it doesn't count. The bull is Boris.

It has been a while since I have updated this (or been online for that matter). Family always comes first regardless. Sadly, my father lost his battle with cancer on 09/10. :( He fought a long and couragous battle.

Just now getting back in the swing of things on my tanks. All of them are in really bad shape. The Oto tank appears to be ok as mom, dad and babies continue to grow. I did loose two of my snails. Boris appears to be still growing. The eggs that Natasha laid are still there. I've noticed no hatching or such. Will have to investigate this later. Shrimpies don't appear to be in numbers like they used to. The Oto clan was all in the crypt jungle.

I did a PWC yesterday. I think I did a bad as well. On impulse I decided my Rotala sp. 'green' was just too tall and instead of going stem by stem trimming, I just pulled it up, got a pair of scissors and CHOP. Cut the whole plant down to about 2". Don't ask...don't know what I was thinking. Hopefully it will be ok. I added two stems of Lobella to the mix to get some more broad leafs in there. Recharged the DIY Co2.
 
Dear James, I'm sorry for your losss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll light a candle for your father. Take care.
 
James...my deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your father.
