Thank you for the compliment
Really tho all I do is feed them and change a lot of water.... LOL!
I took to heart what wiser than me members said "the key is water changes". My tanks get 75% every third day.
So Betsie the cow fish has a secondary role in the tank. Anyone who has Swordtails knows how crazy the male's dart around in display for the females. Well Thor doesn't seem to like this and chases him to make him stop. Well as soon as Thor starts chasing Betsie swims over and gets in the middle and stops the chasing before Thor can get close. So besides be the algea control cowfish, she is part peace keeper.
Same for me and close second is Casper&Goldie. I still can't believe them two. Have a batch of fry atm and decide to lay another batch of eggs.Looking good Sir. This is probably my fave of your tanks atm.
I was hopeful that it would all work out. Sadly they decided not to play along. I woke up this morning to a dead female swordtail. Frack was eating from the corpse. So I don't know who killed it, there are a couple culprits who could have. Needless to say the remaining swordtails have been moved back to the 55gal.
Update pics on what's in Thor's tank ATM.
Actually lets change that....
Thor was in a mood I guess and he was chasing the little HRP nonstop so I grabbed him and tossed him back into the 55. So all the new friends got evicted already.
Back to him and his three buddies that he seems to get along with. They all go about doing there own things not interacting with each other really.
Frack patrols near the surface, likes to hang out in the new Vals at times.
Betsie is always grazing on something. She even eats the algea off of the plants without hurting the plant itself.
The still unnamed Lima Shovelnose has a new hang out spot. It was on the side of the tank. He moved it to front¢er of the tank so I get to see him more now.
So far Thor has not messed with the plants. He likes to swim all around them like some kind of fish obstacle course. I mentioned how he was chewing on that branch in a previous post. Well he now has all kinds of chew marks on the branch.
