Solstice_Lacer Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 I have finally come around to getting a couple nerite snails. They are beautiful and have been doing impressive munching so far. Very visible trails. I got a zebra and a batik, but the batik is very good so far at being behind things when I'm trying to get a pic 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice_Lacer Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm happy to announce that last night I moved the largest white cloud fry from the grow out bowl, back into the 29 gallon with the adult school. He(?) seems to have fit right in and been accepted. Also, I noticed what I think are copepods in the tank, so they have live food to chase around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I just wanted to let you know you have inspired a new aquarist. A friend I worked with in Las Vegas a few decades ago contacted me because they are setting up their first aquarium and wanted advice and ideas. It is a bow front like yours. I sent them photos of a bunch of planted bow fronts. She chose yours as the “blueprint” of what she wanted. She has this photo of your tank printed out hanging beside her tank to create her shopping list and look. Of all the photos she has been obsessively looking at yours captured her imagination. 🤗 Edited March 18, 2023 by Guppysnail 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice_Lacer Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Well, ups and downs in this tank in the past months. I lost three adult white clouds from different causes. I've been checking water parameters and nothing has changed. However, all 4 fry from the grow out bowl have successfully moved back to the big tank. I've rearranged things slightly. Have some cholla wood and a broad leaf bolbitis obscuring the filter/heater corner now. Bolbitis is sprouting babies. Salvinia minima doing well up top. Also have some red root floaters on the left coming in. Everything seems pretty to be going pretty well, minus the losses. I'm considering adding a panda garra but haven't decided yet. There's hardly any shrimp in this tank anymore so I'm not worried about conflict there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Back after a lengthy absence. Things going pretty good in this tank right now. A little while ago successfully raised another baby white cloud, putting the current count at 14. Also a little while ago finally did get a panda garra. It's been doing really well and I'm super happy to have him in the tank. Outgoing but not boisterous, and lots of fun to watch. Plants have obviously changed a little, and I finally upgraded to led grow lights a little while ago. Still cherry shrimp and pink ramshorns doing their thing as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 As usual once I take pics of my tank I feel compelled to re scape it. Went from 3 island to 2 island, and put all my big leaf anubius on the right. I've learned I like the look of similar plants being in big groups to make an impact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, he's an awesome guy. I actually just moved him a couple days ago to my other tank, because the minnows kept stealing his food pellets. He seems pretty pleased with the move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
