Nope. I couldn’t get in touch with him, and it sold. Looking for another semi-large tank. Hopefully 100+, but 55 or larger will do.
Put that project on hold as my life has gotten 1,000 times bussier. It’s going to be a US native paludarium with (hopefully) California Newts and whatnot.
I have encountered a few problems.
The LED light hood thing stopped working randomly, so I needed to buy a new light. The light was $80, and is a StingRay. I wanted to get the 130 dollar light, but, well, for obvious reasons I didn't.
The female Tetra who supposedly had Popeye died. She died overnight, with no symptoms at all. At the time, the balance was 3 males and 2 females. The only thing I saw was the males abnormally chasing her around, wanting to breed. I think the males got carried away because when I found her, most of her fins were either gone or chewed up. So now the ratio is 3 males 1 female, and I still haven't decided what I want to do with them.
While doing a water change last week, the bubbler randomly stopped. I needed to buy a new rubber line thing because it seemed the Tetras had chewed through it. There was a hole.
On the bright side, I removed decorations so Sparky can have more room. I still can't get an exact measure on him, but he is at least 8 inches, upwards of 9. He also has took the liking of fresh rockfish. When we go out on boats, I save him the smallest fillet and feed it to him overtime. He also is not a fan of the cichlid pellets so much. I didn't realize their were sizes of pellets, so got the large one, and he is eating them now.
Sparky can tackle the Medium Sinking Cichlids Gold Pellets now. And not gonna lie, they taste good ?
