Had a moment of clarity because of a fish issue. I had a solo Madagascar rainbow that lived in my 90 gallon community tank with my sevrum's that as he grew developed a humped back with a curvature that just made it hard for the fish to swim, that fish would not have survived in nature because it...

Had to take my car in for some service and it looks like it needs a lot of future work on the front end. All considered regular maintenance by the shop but nothing as of now causing any issues. I think with the cost of what is upcoming that the best bet is to look for a new automobile. My Mazda...

Over the weekend I replaced my last Finnex heater with a new Fluval. This was on my 90g community tank with my Congo tetras and syno cat. I have one in box Finnex that is my emergency backup and thats it. Been discussed before but why cant they make a quality heater that can last for a while?

Scrubbed down both 90 gallon tanks and did gravel vac’s and water changes. Got busy over the weekend so I have tanks to catch up on.

Fed Mysis shrimp yesterday to get some size on the Congo tetras and fill them out and to lure out the syno catfish. He is much more active now that the tetras are in the tank and you can tell he feels safer. Still on the lookout for a leopard bush fish to add to the tank. Might do some fish...

Picked up 2 more Congo tetras for the tank, for total of 8. Thinking this was what the syno needed to feel more secure. I fed a bit of frozen brine and he came out to eat. Was cool seeing him swim around.

Stopped by Petco and picked up 2 more Congo tetras, one more m&f for a total of 8 fish now

The syno in his plant home

Got a pic of the syno eruptus yesterday, living in the plant at the moment

This project idea has now been moved from a 65B to a 90g. The syno has put on size though I dont see it often at all since it hides inside a plastic plant. Ive added 3m + 3f Congo tetras to the tank and considering adding a couple more. Still on the hunt for a leopard bush fish. Saw Wet Spot got...

As I was watching my 90g with my 6 Congo tetra, I was thinking I should get a couple more. Tank just looks so empty! But if they get as big as my rainbows in the other 90, I guess that wont be too bad looking. Petco had one more male & female left, maybe I should go back and get them...

Picked up, 6 Congo tetras from Petco and added them to the 90. 3m & 3f in the group

Posting deleted... Anyone here get it?

Sunday morning worked on tanks and now all 3 goldies are in the 65B. The one that I thought would have the most health issues, the dragon eye pearlscale, has been doing well while the oranda that I felt were bulletproof are the ones that passed.... My very first two goldies (lionchu) are the...

Had a busy Sunday morning with super cleaning of the filters and gravel on the former 90g fish tank. I moved the syno over to it and the 3 goldies into a 65B. I might stop into Petco on my way home and see if they have some Congo tetra to be able to put into the 90 so that there is at least some...
