Guppysnail Aquarium Journal

Tried to get a badis badis photo (he is in back). Got 2 snails, a dwarf cat and a rogue floating guppy grass in the way 🤣

My little Badis badis pouting because he was stuck eating live BBS and did not get his worms today

My anchor cats all have nice fat bellies now. They are not as shy as I was led to believe.

We are getting our black and white dorsal spikes. Today was first Grindle worms. They snarfed up the tiny ones before I could even get the camera. The bigger ones they want but just are not there yet.

So pleased that they’re developing so well!

How are the C125 fry btw?

Congratulations on all the cool stuff going on in the tanks and the fry! 😍

Everything you have going on looks wonderful.

Very wiggly and getting big. A few more hatched yesterday

I suspect my little anchor cats are eating the bladder snails. Three have made this crypt their home. I often find empty bladder shells under it. Today a rather large empty shell appeared, you can see it by the point of the pectoral fin

What’s the plan for them? Sell them here on the forum?

No. I’m keeping some and sending the rest to @dasaltemelosguy and the guy from the fish club that gave me the tip to blow them around that made the difference in success and failure gets a few. 
If there are any left I will take them to the fish club. Shipping these I would be to nervous to not do overnight with am delivery. That makes them cost prohibitive to anyone online purchasing them.

Nice! Are there any sort of dedicated spawning plants?

Simba. That’s his older brother. He is 15. He is also affectionately called my Velcro cat. He is always attached to me. When I crouch down to look in floor tanks he stands in my back. If I’m there too long he lays down on my back.

One of my cats also had the tip on her ear snipped off

They did that when he was found as a stray before he went to the adoption agency. I understand the reasoning but ….

He is our Boo bear.
