Set up a new pleco and shrimp tank. Still cycling.

Those caves are awesome!!! Did you make them yourself?

Yes, I bought $8 worth of scrap slate from a local stone/rock business and then busted the pieces up with a hammer.

Knowing my luck the plecos won't like or use them. :(

Loren, your fancy pleco caves are shaming my broken flower pots. Came out looking really nice, I hope they move in for you!

That is the compromise that I had to make with the wife in order to get the goldfish out of the big tank. I was going crazy replanting on a daily basis all the plants that they had ripped out. It is in our master bathroom. Luckily I found one on craigslist so didn't have to cough up $200.

I sold around 20 fish this past weekend, with a few dozen more to be sold. Will be posting an ad later today. If I remember. :)

Yes I am, to a point. Will be keeping a few of my more rare species but moving the rest. Including around 20 exotic Loricaridae
Oh man, I'm sad to hear that. I can't imagine that your fish could find a better home than what you give them.

Just an update. Got tired of the mix of substrate I had in the tank that has changed over the years. Aragonite, crushed coral, cichlid mix and pool filter sand. It was starting to look really cruddy and generally ugly. I sucked it all out with a 1.5" hose out the window, then replaced it with 3 bags of straight pool filter sand. Deducted a few rocks and added a few new ones. PFS is so nice to sift and seems to stay nicer then the expensive tank substrate.

Looks so much cleaner.

Thanks and I got all of them from you except the wild caughts :( I had so many goofy passwords I just set up a new account awhile back. They are still doing good, I think I have only lost 2 in what 6 or 7 years now since they were fry? You have anything tank wise going on now and where you at, still in the Seattle area? Kind of odd I haven't had any holding for almost a year, they go through the motions but no holding. Talked to a few other troph people about it and they think since the colony is so big it's like they don't need to.
