As some of you have probably seen, I had to get rid of the frogs in my swamp a couple of days ago because they were hilariously, obnoxiously loud.
At that point, my swamp was basically a 220g tank 2/3 full to the brim with pothos vines, so getting out all the little frogs (approx 40 in total) we had to cut out the majority of the pothos. And while we were at it, I decided I didn't love the stuff aesthetically (although all the roots are cool) and decided to just rip it all out. Sorry F1!
Anyway, I replanted and rearranged a bunch of stuff to give my turtle more room to swim (the pothos took over most of his space) and sort of clean up the tank in general, and add some non-green color.
Here's some crappy pics I snapped last night of the setup as it looks now:
So of course I get this all set up and add new feeders and the tentacled snakes are chowing down, right...and this ropefish swims by...and WHAM, the tentacled snake struck at and latched onto to a nearly fully grown ropefish! It clearly wasn't going to swallow this, so I had to intervene, and I think both the snake and amazingly the ropefish are OK. I'll be posting about that in the poly section.
Anyway, that's where we're at now. There's still like one frog in there that we didn't get out, but it seems to have a normal call and isn't so bad.
