The CRUD Tank

[Rays of Sunshine]

I had trouble finding native plants(no to elodea and hornwort) for sunfish, so I choose another option. You can get a really big laugh now. I am not finished but this is a start, at least the fish love it. I think I am going to add anubias later. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=4180&pictureid=46796

Pond scum?

 

[Rays of Sunshine]

Pond scum is correct. It is the stuff that gets stuck on lures and baited hooks. I decided to put it to work. I will uncover my favorite driftwood piece in the middle "Tree Beard." I wanted to let the fish recover from the stress of being moved. A few of the fish have been eating.

I believe it's hair algae. Jade Gobies eat it, and I'm sure plenty of other fish do too. I hope it works out in your tank. It already looks nice.

Thanks Mrwinkle! I was proud of that tank for 1-2 days. I don't like it anymore. I have destroyed it. I am going to look at the tank tommorrow. I have blue-gill, pumpkinseed and maybe a green sunfish(not a hundred percent sure) When the mud was clearing, 3 of the fish started coming to the glass and 2 would slide right back into the cloud. The other one just watched me. The fish are hitting the food as soon as it hits the water. The pumpkinseed chose a spot in the big driftwood and ambushes food as it passes and goes back in the wood. Mrwinkle, I had planned on using the 300 gallon for unusual fish but I think the NATIVES have claimed the big tank. Those fish have so much personality and spunk!! Just add catfish and a few warmouths and the tank will be done!!!
