Guppysnail Aquarium Journal

My boy found a cave he likes. The Aspidora can’t get in the back. He is sporting his shimmery gold tuxedo today. He has come out twice to dance for his girls. 🥰

[Guppysnail]

Oh my look who just came to check out his new cave ❤️💕

[Guppysnail]

I originally ordered this Apisto cave for my badis. It is TINY. So I gave it to my juvenile badis. He loves it. Took 15 minutes before he decided it was his. 
Got Mom n Dad an even bigger cave. I think they have common pleco genes hiding in them 🤣 

just cute bellies 

Still only 1 honey in the logs. 
just because the adults are beautiful

I am happy to announce Lefty and Angel are happy in their new home. They just provided my friend with gobs of beautiful babies. First hatch for him.

Everyone is looking so happy. Well done @Guppysnail!

Congrats! Looks about 50ish fry!

Moving day. 
I gave my friend my original group of pandas so I could have a tank to finish growing out the GBR. I chose my original group since the group in the other tank were mostly all born to me. And there are tons of fry in that one so not a good choice to redo the that tank. 
I put in different substrate which I hate. Much to bright. It’s not fully planted or anything but it will work. 
I moved a bit over half of them. They already seem to fill up the 20long. 
Im convinced they are like the shrunken toys you add water to expand. As soon as they hit a bigger tank they look twice as big 🤣

I pulled the other piece of wood from the Aspidora/ Badis tank. They stopped using the new big caves and went back to the flow through caves. 
@Chick-In-Of-TheSea sent me the center white caves 🤗 so this is preliminary. End of March is a club swap so I’ll get plants. 
I was drying my hands after putting the center caves in and they were already exploring. 
 

Also adorable frog from @Chick-In-Of-TheSea

I just went to see how the caves were doing. Look what showed up front and center in the parent tank 💕

Nice frog!

They are good. Sweet as ever. Cat is still the insufferable flirt.

Gosh they are so beautiful. I am very jealous of them. I keep looking at the pink honey gourami and almost buying them. Almost. 

 

I want to wait for my tanks to have life in them for a few months first. Does everyone have this much "I want it now!" happening?

What is pink honey gourami?

[Miska]

It's actually a Red Honey Gourami but it looks pink to me in a lot of pictures and I dream about it.

Oh yes they look great!

My Melini cory are finally old enough. I saw actual mating behavior. I managed to find ONE egg 🤣

Picked these up at the club this weekend. Large crypt and a chain of red flame swords. 

Last week I pulled all of my inchplants from my emergent growth. They got unruly and began shading everything. Kicked myself because 3 bundles someone else brought sold for around $10 each 😝

@WhitecloudDynasty was mentioned by the speaker as a fantastic source for native fish  👍

Panda babies everywhere 

 

[TheSwissAquarist]

Those swords look great!

The girl who brought these brought 3 near identical bags of them. They are amazing. I wish I knew her secret to getting that many runners. Unfortunately she left before I had a chance to ask her 🤪
