What did you get done today?


Cory

Recommended Posts

Dealt with consequences of a mini-flood. One of my internal filters had an existential crisis, self-amputated its waterfall attachment and turned itself into a bigger-than-this-tank fountain. At 3 a.m., so no one would notice. Luckily, the fish (and I hope the downstairs neighbors too) are fine and my floors are now extra-clean.

As I was rooting around in my 40B for the next delivery of Cherry Shrimp to the LFS tomorrow I happened across a baby Panda Cory that has made it to be big enough to not be food.  Cute little feller. Pretty cool. No pictures, it's pretty fast and I put the blob of Java Moss back so as not to stress it out. Netting out Cherry's is a bother in a heavily planted tank.

IMG_20210120_084744.jpg.8936d0fda5b27c91d687873d072a9a08.jpgit all started a year ago my daughter 2years old wanted a tank , now we are here a year later , today we added two snails to the community and a grogu ( baby yoda ) to watch over them , all plants from the co op . Yes I know I need to clean it up but left it dirty so the snails can forage while getting used to the tank , she loves her fishys and keeps calling the shrimp lobsters and it's hilarious

I got my order from Aqua Huna! It came two days earlier than predicted so I had to rush to get all the tanks ready. Adding minerals, testing pH, and making a tub into a quarantine tank because I hadn’t disinfected my 5 gallon yet.

I got amano shrimp to eat hair algae. Finally!!

I also got a new school of cardinal tetras. Currently I only have two tetras and that’s not enough! So here they are, named after my mom who got me an Aqua Huna gift card for Christmas. Introducing the School of Dr. Neidecker!

I had an eventful day today. When I was about to head to the store to get fish for my 10 gallon I noticed one of my otos in the 40 breeder had a pretty bad fungal infection. Went to the big buck store to get a cheap quarantine tank and put the oto there with antifungal medication, but I don't think he's gonna make it 😔. I'm keeping an eye on the other fish in the 40 gallon in case there's another sick one.

After that I went to my LFS and got me a pretty cool betta (my first one!) and some celestial pearl danios for the 10 gallon. I'm excited about these guys!

I had a pygmy cory that looked exactly like that, with one fin totally fuzzed. I set up a quarantine bowl and let it sit overnight with seasoned gravel to let the bacteria settle in, and the next day the cory was totally fine. I was sooooo confused. But I hope you have the same luck!

I ordered some nerite snails from aquahuna to help with the extra algae I've been having. I guess I have been overfeeding, but my ten gallon just collects waste so fast I am feeding less but having trouble keeping up with maintenance as often as it needs it. Hopefully the little guys will help me! 🙂
