when 2 become 1

Hahaha! Yip... I have given up trying to count my school of Rummy Nose Tetras... They're always swimming around in a follow-the-leader fashion. The only problem is that the leader doesn't realise he's it, so he quickly catches up with the end of the pack to follow the fish in front of him - and I end up counting the same fish again...

 

do ottos eat java moss by any chance cause mine is all but gone ever since they arrived.

 

not that i know but,but SAE's do.

 

I had it growing very nicely on the driftwood in a big clump enough to prune and replant all over the driftwood while still having enough of a little bush in case they didnt take but now there's niks and the only change has been their addition.

 

i dont even think they have teeth they got those sucker things lol.
is it gone completely or or is it looking stringy?

 

Its gone gone

 

dude thats very strange! you want more?

i can send you some early next year like a golfball size.

 

you telling me lol,i would much appreciate it thanx

 

i am very happy to report that the ottos have started paying off doing what they were bought to do,when i got home yesterday that thick diatom or brown or some kind of algae that was covering the front glass was significantly cleaned i can actually see through the glass now i am totally amazed.

 

Worth losing some java moss over...? :cheesy:

 

ja looks like they started with dessert first

 

Haha! Nothing wrong with having dessert first unless your mother is standing behind you...

 

brainwave:stupid:just realised what probably happened to my moss,during that heatwave we had i would i would often find my thermometre sitting at 30 degrees and i was blaming the poor ottos.

 

Hey bud.

java moss is the only moss that can tolerate that temp thats why its used it discus tank... sorry
maybe try some PC fans too cool your tank during the heat waves..

 

ok so then it was the ottos lol little bas....
good news ,the rotala is growing nicely,can actuall do some pruning and replanting this weekend i see it looks nice when bushy.
ceratopteris(if i remember correctly)is the most up and down plant i know finally have some good growth from one of the thousands of little ones i planted that break off from the original and start growing roots i actually use them as floating plants to protect the guppy fry but getting one to grow in the substrate has eluded me till now(fingers crossed) it keeps on growing.
bad news my hemianthus is not looking so lekker,growth is long and dangly i hope it just needs a cutting back to get right.

 

THAT....is one big pleco....

 

ja i get that a lot

 

two have become two again,finally got my ada soil from seanj thanx guy it fitted perfectly in the tank,its going to be low low tech just 2 t8s n ferts with crypts and anubias.the original was rescaped to make some swimming space.

 

very very nice!

 

which one or both lol,i'm working on covering that back glass so that the afront that is the background pic will be obscured lol.
