Everyone has settled in well. Most of the time Greenie stays on the left side of the tank and Jade to the right. Oliver is in the middle a lot and pesters Greenie. He clearly wants to spawn, but she isn’t ready so she’s been nipping him. I’ll be salting the tank for his fins after today’s water change.
Jade’s egg tube has been dropping since being in the new tank. And her color is much darker(I attribute that to the dark back and sand) but could be spawning dress.
You can see here her tube and a very round belly.
Another thing.... see all that poo^^^
I decided to try using the quick vac I’ve had for nearly a year. I got it new in the box with a free tank I picked up last year.
I did not have high hopes for this thing.
Turns out it’s awesome! Not something I’d use in my other tanks with gravel, but it’s perfect for sucking the poo up off the sand. Just hover it above and wiggle it a little to stir things up and that’s all it takes.
All clean
This will make water changes much easier. My syphon hose isn’t long enough to reach the left side of the tank and still empty out the window. That means using a bucket, and that sucks. So this has fixed my problem
Yay!
