banjo catfish

Big congrats on the awards Warrendafish ... unfortunately our household has been flipped upside down lately ... a few unexpected deaths all close together. Just doing what I can to maintain tanks while we deal with m8re pressing matters.

Thanks you guys ... first it was my father (58yrs) surprise passing, then it was my brother-in-law (45yrs) a few weeks afterwards. Neither of which live nearby. So my wife and I had to go our ways to attend to our affairs ... the kids came with me as my family is in our country, just a different province. (she's from the Philippines). Fortunately we haven't lost anything fish wise, longest stretch away was 2 1/2 weeks. Did w/c's every return. But the plants took a beating. Only have a timer on 1 of 4 tanks ... but even that tank was hurting due to lack of liquid ferts.
Not much to report tank wise and/or banjo wise. It's nice sitting and watching the Banjo's feed with the blue light on at night ... they're never visible with the light on, except for the 2 eel tails.
Currently working/attempting to build a palaudarium that my 10yr old and I have been talking about for a year now. It's giving us something to do together as we put our household back together. It's been a tough year on him ... as this has been his introduction on death (a few months previous, a close family friend committed suicide as well).

One thing on the Banjo Tank ... that has hit a snag. We've realized the hornwort won't cut it either on the left side of the tank. What's some viable choices plant wise to attach to the wood there to provide shade for the base of the tank. It's gotta survive higher current (directly below filter outflow) and decent light .... Hornwort is no good, Java Moss went out of control and Anubias develop algae under this light (Fluval LED 5200k).
