And the fish go jumping one by one hurrah! HURRAH!
The celestichthys choprae have a death wish.. lost another one today... I moved my lone female orange Lyretail Kili (Aphyosemion australe) in an she doesn't like certain fish near her 'spot'... she made 2 female endlers jump yesterday...
All of the riparium planters are in and filled and now I just need to fill out the empty spaces with accent plants etc...
The pygmy chain sword (e. Tenellus) has stopped dying but it's still looking pretty rough... a couple days ago the surface scum was so bad the entire surface was translucent white... YUKK!
I realized that one of the planters was blocking the surface flow in the front right so it couldn't go around the stumps to the back overflow... obviously this was a choking point for scum... all I did was move the planter and boom! All the scum is gone!
There's a terrible bald spot where the tenellus used to be... I was thinking of dwarf sag to replace it but it might get too tall here...
The new fish and shrimp additions are doing well, but I think I may focus on the Celestial Pearl danios population... either by purchase or breeding... simple reason? They don't jump... I am also going to add another pair of orange Lyretail as a centre piece fish... I originally wanted somethjng bigger and more interesting (not that the males aren't spectacular) but anything bigger will probably decimate my planned cherry shrimp population... I might be adding a small shoal of glass catfish as they from Myanmar as well but they may distort the sense of scale here...
I need to clean the front glass as hydra have made quite a colony there so it's hazy... I don't want to jinx it but algae has not appeared since adjusting the lights... but I think I still need to up the ferts to account for the huge section of riparium plants...
