Arrived home this evening and for the benefit of those who expressed concern that my fish didn't get fed for 2 weeks everyone is thriving
The community tank gave me a little concern as I could not find the otos, just had to look harder all is well (and its a month since I bought them so the critical stage is over). The BN has been doing some decorating in my absence - but that's nothing new. He has also dug himselelf a lttle crater next to one of the pieces of driftwood. Before I left I broke off some frogbit leaves and threw these into the left half. These have covered over and I have some nice new plants. Nitrates were closer to 0 than 5. Fish in this tank got lucky tonight and were fed. I rinsed the filter sponges. No food for the other 2 because they had water changes instead.
All good in the nano too. Here nitrates were a bit less than 5
Finally the sids' tank. Nitrates were under 10 in here, but this one has the least plants. There are holes and tears in the crypts. I am blaming the sids for this because there is no sign of any damage in the other tanks.
