20 Gallon Shellies

[LyraGuppi]

I might have to ditch the shellie idea...searched all over and everything is too expensive.

 

[LyraGuppi]

I'm getting tired of this cycle xD
 
Ammonia: .25 as always
Nitrite: 0.. as always

 

[LyraGuppi]

Getting some bad algae now, but the cycle is done!!

 
Java moss and java fern are in the mail, I'll see what I can do..

 

[LyraGuppi]

Finally found some shellies in a tiny fish store in Missouri, 6 of the little guys. I'll get some pictures ASAP.

Photobucket is being a butt again and not letting me resize pictures, so I'll just post the vid. I have 3 males and 3 females, the shell I point at in the video is where a little shy female hid.

One male have been digging around a shell, I wonder what he's up to..

So that male that's been digging has now been fighting a neighbor male, and flirting with the poor little female.
I could write a soap opera out of this O:

They are adorable.
And next on "Days of our shells"... Tommy fought Bobby for Gina's affection, but Gina said "go away Tommy there are other fish in the sea"...
The saga continues on tomorrow's episode of Days of our Shells thanks for tuning in! Bwahaha

 

[AmtotheBurr]

You just tell me what they're up to and I will narrate their soap opera for you!

XD

Tommy, Bobby, Gina, Lena, Jeremy, and Dana are the decided names of the cast in...
 

Days of our Shells​

 ​

But now they have eight neighbors, 4 leopard and 4 zebra danios! Plus a lot of hornwort, since I need some green in that tank.
Photobucket is being a poop, photos will come in a bit.

No TB, just some horrifying disease that Jungle FungusClear cleared up. I lost 3 danios, so now we have 4 leopard and 1 zebra. I'm hoping to find more soon. The medicine also killed the hornwort, but the stuff has never really agreed with me anyway... I'll try frogbit.
 
The shellies have gained a huge amount of confidence with the danios and plants over them, they rise up almost to the top of the tank at feeding time. c: Tommy and Bobby have decided that fighting isn't necessary, unless brine shrimp are involved.
 
Those men, choosing to fight for food instead of a lady.
