lately. That new snail died just a few days after I got it. Saturday, I moved both the amazon swords from the 20 gallon to the 55 gallon. I also clipped the baby plant off the big sword and planted it. I got an anubias
(Anubias nana) from
the Aquarium Store, along with another (little!) African butterfly. The new butterfly is female and the big one is male, so I might try to breed them sometime once this one gets bigger. I used a rubber band to attach the anubias to a piece of driftwood from the 20 and put it in the 55 temporarily.
I moved the Bolivians to the 55, and dropped all the tetras off at PetCo since the angelfish would probably eat them. I hadn't realized that my cory catfish are a bit larger than the Bolivians. In the 20, I took out the wood from the farm because it's starting to rot, and decorated the tank with fake plants and stuff. The only inhabitants of the tank are the baby African butterfly, Trooper the snail, and two golden Dojo loaches (it's hard to get a good picture of them) I got Sunday from PetsMart.
On Monday, I finally cleaned the two 2.5 gallon tanks. I put one in storage, then took the other one up to my room; I want to try a nano planted tank. So I dumped the last of the black
Eco-complete
substrate into it, took the Java moss from the Liberty's net and spread it on the gravel and added a darkish rock and the small driftwood with the Anubias to hold the moss down. Sometime soon I'm going back to the Aviarium to get a couple male Endler's Livebearers or some dwarf rasboras to help liven up the tank. I would also like to get three Red Cherry shrimp too eventually.
