Senegals belly is bulged, so he immediately ate the pellets offered. I haven’t offered him tilapia yet.

Wood has been in for a month - hasn’t grown any of the classic white goop around it, only bright green algae. And it still hasn’t sunk.

Did you try boiling it?

What I did to my stubborn driftwood was to blue some rocks under them to make it sink. You can hide the rocks by burying them under the substrate so only the wood is visible.

Not sure how to boil a 4 foot piece of driftwood!

I don’t want to interfere with the driftwood by doing that Egemen because I won’t be able to rearrange the driftwood if it has rocks glued. I previously soaked the driftwood for around a week and a half, then took it out for 2 days and put it in here.

Fair enough, would probably sink by itself in time anyway.

4 foot piece is gonna take a bit
Took about 2 weeks for a 24 inch manzanita piece of mine to sink.
I imagine it’s exponential from there.

The Masked Shadow put it tin the bathtub and run that sucker on full hot

Driftwood sank!

The Senegal is a kind of clean up crew. Not sure if all polys are messy eaters, but mine are,and the Senegal will eat the scraps leftover from pellets/tilapia. Today I’m feeding shrimp.

Also fitted a lid of polycarbonate. My dad cut it so that the filter can still go in and the heaters can still go in, but cut it too short. First time super glue worked for me!
