kno4te . Thanks! Sounds good!

Looking great! Moke will just need some more time in the clean water, hopefully. It's not been all that long.

How's the Del eating? I saw some at WS that must be the size of yours. So leeeetle!

Do you have names for your crew yet? I'm sure you must have some in mind...

That's true. It hasn't been a long time yet. Thank you so much for the plants! The water lettuce is starting to root straight down. Woo! The albino and del love sitting up at the top near them and in the top of the Vals. Moke just loves plants lol.

The del is still so tiny! She doesn't eat much. The albino tends to eat That's exciting that you got to see the other small ones.

Still trying to figure out names. My mom calls the albino, "pinky". The delheIzi "toothpick." And the moke "the blob."

Moke looks super comfy looks like you lucked out like magpie did.

So cool when members help each other out

Thank you! I'm so lucky my moke is so active too.

Very thankful for Mags' kindness.

kewpiefishypewpie . Thank you! It's definitely been a struggle. Hoping for the best this time around!

Your del will start to eat better eventually. Did you get or did you already have carnivore pellets? Polys love em. And once the del starts eating it will bypass the others. Mine grew sooooo fast.

I did buy them lol.

right now feeding NLS, but i'll throw in some carnivore too. The del seems to like the pellets better than tilapia. Tilapia is too big for its mouth lol.

GLO-DANIO COUNT IS DOWN TO 2. I can't tell if the albino ate one....or if the moke did.

Weekend update. Plant fun.
What does it mean when the water starts turning yellow/ green?

 

[kno4te]

Could be a algae bloom if the water is turning yellow or green. Keep the water changes going and scrubbing the tank. Doubt you can reduce the lighting cause of the plants.

Can tell the polys love the tank.

Just thought I'd share a Before picture of DMD123 's favorite background of all time

AFTER: man you guys have had a good influence on me. lol.

Oh man that is night and day with the tank aesthetics! The second one is so much more calming and natural. Nice work!

How yellow is the tank? Can you give an updated overall tank shot?
What is your light schedule?

Agree with kno4te - could be an algae bloom which can happen in newer tanks. Also agree with water changes and cleaning the glass.

Also, when you get more and more water lettuce propagating they can make the tank look more yellowish since the light is filtering through them. My in-tank lighting gets dimmer and things look more yellowish in color as I go from water change day (and remove floating plants) to later in the week.

Wasn't doing a water change with the python so much better?
