The move...

3 weeks after I moved in the aquarium still isn't stable. There is a bunch of 'crud' accumulating at the surface of the water. I don't know what it is or how to remove it. Also on of the corys seems to be stressed. My water may be to hot, but there is no way to tell. Seeing how my thermo and stuff is in Charlotte and I don't know when I will be able to go home and pick that stuff up.

All is not lost!

I see good thing coming from this tank.

Long waits....

Whoa! Been so long. Not much has changed in the 20G. I have a 2.5G soon to be seeding a 2.5G so I can bring my fish home over break.

I removed a bunch of Water Wisteria and now can see my fish again... though the Danios want more swimming space also the feeding schedule has changed a bit. Danios get flakes and I feed the cories at night and they seem happier.

Overgrowth

A two week wait huh? It's been a busy week.... but I return with a picture of just how overgrown this tank is coming :) I have to do some serious pruning.

Now you see.... lol

They say let it ride

I'm no longer trying to raise the pH of my tank. Anything I do and it jumps back to 6.0 or below. Can never tell. However if I do get some sea shells, I might add them. The fish seem to be doing just fine so why tamper with it.

Also I realized my tank is in direct sunlight... yeah.. fun stuff... algae is finding a way to grow even woth all my plants in there.

On a side note two of my plants are growing sideways. I don't have a clue why. And I mean they are almost completely horizontal.

Sad day....

So he is gone, but not forgotten. Poor thing... I don't really have much more to say...

Though I did notice that Water Wisteria has a morning and night routine. At night the growing leaves point upwards and then in the morning falls down... it's interesting...

Sad week...

So pH is still low... working on getting in a filter change so we can see what is goin on in there. I've realized that my cories seem to be fine except for one. Upon closer inspection during the QT I found he had on 2 barbels one of which is bent and the other is shortened. Today I woke up and found him lying on his side.... but still breathing... I believe he has just given up.. he no longer searches for food or swims for air...... :(
