What did you do with your tank(s) today?

Outdoor tubs are doing great, loaded with daphnia and being visited by multiple species of dragon flies. Got some visitors this morning.

Been so busy with the yard and new concrete drive that I let the tanks go a bit when it came to glass cleaning and gravel vacs, just simple drain and fill water changes and feedings was all I've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Just couldnt take it anymore and did a bit better cleaning on all the tanks so that they are at least a bit presentable. Algae is healthy but when you cant see the fish it kind of defeats the purpose of having the tanks to begin with, lol.

One thing I hadnt considered with all the additional concrete, I have to run longer hoses out to drain onto the grass. This means it takes a bit longer to drain. Might need to come up with a more powerful pump and a bit larger diameter hose to drain faster. Another project for another day.

Just haven't had much success with the Congo tetras. Apparently they are very cannibalistic towards their own kind and the smaller fish seem to eventually get beat down and eaten. Down to 2 males and 1 female. I feel like I would have to add a huge group in order to get them to survive or just get these large ones out and start with a whole new group of smaller fish and then add the big ones back in later. At this point I might even consider a whole different tetra altogether. Im trying for more of an African theme, or fishes from the Congo and love the African red eye tetra but looking at $20 a fish gets expensive to do a school of them. Looking to head up to Bridges soon, might see what they have up there.
