Well (strongly believe its a) she has arrived! Last time we had a starlight eel we were in a house that was sold to us with the promise it was lake water, but was actually municipal well water. We had a fish room with a centralized air system and over 40 tanks ranging from 5 to 125. Some...

Let's not be rude ...

Lol Tom. The watermelon panaque? That's Belle (my avatar), she's a sweet heart. Ghost used to push her around, lol. Yeah I wound up tearing the 120 down. It was a bit chaotic, lost track of what I caught in the mess of it all but I believe I got everyone. The 120 is a mess. I just put the DW...

Well I think I caught the majority. Had to pull out the DW, rocks and pots with plants in them. I think there are 3 left and the knife fish but I can't see anything right now. Am going to give it an hour to clear and try again. It's hard because they will bury themselves when stressed. This...

Well the tank is rearranged and redone. I don't have the energy right now to be chasing eels and breaking down the 120. The day is not over yet. Still may wind up going downstairs and removing the Driftwood out of the 120 and try to catch the eels.

Shopping and breakfast done, it's time to get the tank reset up and move some eels.

So with the traps I was able to get all but two of the cory out of the tank. If anyone said fish are not smart then they are wrong because by the time I tried to put the traps in for the sixth time the fish knew what they were and we're staying away from them like the plague. This made it...

So total catch today was 15 cory, 5 SAE (all of them), two rainbow fish, one diamond tetra, one thick lipped gourami, and one red lizard catfish. The first two went into the 120, everything else went back into the 125. This trap is doing such a great job that I am hoping once I add a second...

The chain stores as well as many local stores get their fish from similar vendors. What they do when they get the fish is what results in the poorer qualities. There is a Petco I would never buy fish from, but another one that has a wonderful selection of fresh and saltwater fish. I have had...

It begins. So stopped at local grocery and got two 2L bottles of brisk tea simply because I wanted something I could put into another container and I stopped drinking the carbonated stuff. I was unable to empty both of the bottles, so whoops. I did get the one empty so I decided to build my...

We got 2 Borneo Python eel juvis last weekend from Nationwide Aquatic. That led me into think about swapping the eels back to the 125 and rearranging/homing some fishies. This weekend would be perfect for that... Also a update on the 20L shrimp tank, love seeing them so busy in there.

Oops I forgot the video...

Agree with above. That feeder food is a waste of $$.

So got the new shrimp today. They (and I) are still at work but don't have too much longer. They should be acclimated and in the tank before 3.

So I just had 4 pieces of "holy" (wood with holes) that I wanted to use and spent 2 hours soaking it in hot water. 2 of the 4 sank. Left the other 2 over night and they are now sinking. Sis had a huge piece she bought for a 120 gallon. It was in the tank for over 6 months and wouldn't sink...

Here's the 125 I just fed, its the tank with our rope fish

Some relatively short feeding videos. She is in the fishroom so she counts, lol

Think its doing ok with what its got...since my tank is in a baselemt I do have some grow LED bulbs on a timer. One of the bulbs gives the plant a weird purple metallic look, it is green BTW. EDIT: Did some digging in my Google photos and found this from January 14, 2023.

Shrimp be shrimping... then there is Caspian Comfy cozy
