Oh these fish...

Again waking up with the fish below my Java Tree. I dunno if it breeding or if thats just where they spend the night, but I like it. These fish have are too much fun.

They recognize me when I come to feed them. Keep in mind this isn't a "Its this time of day where is my food" type deal. I don't feed on regular intervals. Sometimes it's everyday sometimes its not, but everytime I come they come to the glass. Even when I want to take pics. I've stuck my camera inside of the tank and they actually took turns giving my blurry pics.. lol

Camera is waterproof.........

The 10G is running but it is just dying really. It was to be used as a Qtank but know I can only bring one 20G max I've stopping cycling it. It's evaporated down to like 60% now...

Awesome fishies

So I woke up with my Danios all on the bottom of the tank. Not dead, but swimming as if they were searching for something. My thought is they are eating the eggs of a no longer pregnant female. But it is still weird to see a bunch of mid/top dwelling fish scouring the bottom of a tank like a bunch of Cory cats..

Danios!

Oh the 5 Danio are exactly what I wanted. They are so fun and full of energy. Also with the way I set up my tank. There is a strong current in top in the tank and they love it. They take turns swimming through it and going back to the front to do it again.

I love these fish.

And the catch up

Insert cycling here... (now this took weeks.. contrary to what the blog says) I have cycled the baby and the Anacharis did not make it... I don't even think it tried. It seemed to be growing at first but then algae took over it and it went down.

Java Moss has become acclimated to the tank and has slowly begun growing. Yays? I've heard horror stories about Java Moss and how it can get out of control. :-D

Bacopa.. only 3 stalks left. 2 in the middle that the Java Moss have begun attached to and 1 just hanging out in the corner. I hope they make it.

Oooh... time for fish!!! I already know what I'm gonna get.. 5 Brachydanio rerio.. Zebra Danios!! :-)

Poor Bacopa

So the Bacopa either does not like being moved or hates my tank cause they are dying like seals in a great white cage. Anacharis shows no growth but just staying strong... I hope. Java Moss is just sitting there.

Still trying to figure out what to do with the nymph...

Plants!!!!

So to begin cycling I'm using pure ammonia and some plants. I threw in some Anacharis, Java Moss and Bacopa. I thought it looked nice. The sand was very bright exactly like I wanted. Seemed like everything was in order.

See. Kinda bland. Kinda simple and I'm missing the hood still. I will use this opportunity to build a custom hood. :) But then I noticed somthing.

In my excitement of getting back on the horse I forgot to wash the plants. Now I was lucky and didn't get any snails. Got a couple flatworms or something, but I of all people got a dragonfly nymph. Don't ask me. I didn't even believe it.. but yeah.. a dragonfly nymph.. in an uncycled tank!
