Last night I was getting a tank ready to qt a new fish arrival. I traded the current fish in the tank so I wanted to keep the tank fully cycled for the next few days until the new arrival shows up.
So I threw this little 4” flagtail in the qt tank. It was loaded with diatoms to the point I couldn’t see through the sides of the glass clearly and the back was almost entirely browned out.
I was expecting the ft to take a week or two to get it in half decent shape, but this morning woke up to this.
I am amazed at how fast this happened? And even more amazed at the fact it all seemed to happen in the dark. Are these guys typically nocturnal as well as diurnal? Weird but cool.
Just thought I would share this. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take a before picture
