Been a spell since I've updated this. All continues to go well. Mama Oto is really showing at the moment. Need to remove more of the juvies out of the main tank into the juvie tank.
Speaking of Juvies....here's a fresh video of them. They were really active.

I set another trap in the main tank to try and catch some more juvies. Only catch so far is shrimp. Go figure. They know me too well.
I've decided to try the net as much as I hate to. Already moved over (3).
Trimmed some plants and finishing the scaping at the same time.

Transferred over (9) to the juvie tank. Wanted (10) but I'll settle. Don't want to create too much stress. That should leave mom and pop and (4) juvies left in the main tank. There are now (38) juvies in the 20long.
Will replant the trimmings and call it quits for the night.

So working on replanting and found (1) juvie just kinda hangin out. Decided I would see if I could net him and move him over. Sure enough..was relatively easy. Kewlness!
Moved over (10) juvies to the juvie tank which brings that total to (39). In the main tank, with lesser numbers, I was able to get a more accurate count. The last count remains. (2) adults and (4) juvies.
Still have a couple more plants to place back but the light cut off on me signalling times up.

30% water change performed. Water test pending. Found that I lost a shrimp. Mama Oto is still nice and plump.
On a bad note, I believe I found some BBA in the tank. It's on some of the crypt leaves and the Littorella Uniflora. Not good. Gonna be hard to treat in a sensitive environment. Gotta think.
