Mondays 9th Feb Pics,
The fish are definetly very active, and healthy.
Temps still 90 and will be staying at this heat.
I now tend to turn the filter off when feeding

also i have removed a large ammount of the rock due to never seeing the fish,

They all look healthy and the smallest seems to have visually grown a small ammount

i quite liked the big rock but like you said, the fish hide away a lot
