[CaptainBarnicles]

@CaptainBarnicles ... Congrats you dominated... I've followed your tank thread off & on, can't believe how those plants are coming along... are you adding CO2???

Nope I just give them a very stern look every time I walk by

 

[CaptainBarnicles]

Shenanigans.
Conflict of interest.

Extra Extra, read all about it. New Moderator wins tank of the month contest.

I smell conspiracy and favoritism

What's not to love??

I gotta start doing that with my plants...

Well for starters you don't like plecos... And then secondly your a mod now, so
(Jk of course lmho)

we need to check that photograph for plecos and other types of suckermouth catfish, If there's any in there, something is fishy.

 

[CaptainBarnicles]

You won't find any suckers in my tanks

 

[Essjay]

What, no suckers holding things like the heater in place

 

[Magnum Man]

guessing if she can give those plants a stern look to grow, she can do the same, daring the heaters to move

 

[Colin_T]

Go ahead heater, make my day

Congrats! It really is a stunning tank.

Would look better with a massive common pleco stuck to the front glass though.

Crypts will do that. They are capricious critters. They'll languish and melt for months, then you wake up one morning and they're acting all healthy and happy to see you. It's part of what I love about them. For a plant, they have some personality.

Notice how the crypts don't have any algae on their leaves. You know what keeps their leaves free from algae? slobbery gross sucky mouthy catfishies
