Added some anubias lanceolata to fill out the scape and will likely have to add some more. Maybe 10-12 more rhizomes to the scape. Also replaced the lights with four new AI Prime HD’s after having two of my old ones started acting up. These new lights are an improved version and have a slightly cleaner look to them. Love how they illuminate the tank at only 60% of its limit.
The vallisnera were added to create more visual barriers and have been holding up well for the past few months. It’s allowed the two pairs of loisellei to build out territories further away from the pair of Festae. And as always, the nics are doing a good job of keeping their territory on the center front of the tank among the rocks.
Sold the large female Umbee and have only the small female in there now. The male was depressed for a couple weeks after losing his consort but has colored back up and I’m hoping he will pair with this smaller female. Have another spare female in the sump along with the spare male that is for sale.
Looking for some Sajica or Cutteri to add to the tank. Tested out the convicts and they were ignored by the bigger fish. Even after being gone a week they weren’t eaten despite the tank receiving no food for six days. Funny thing is, the convicts were actually nipping at the larger fish so they were removed. Now that I know these larger fish will not try to eat the smaller amatitalania/cryptoheros types, I’m looking for something a bit more rare and colorful to take the place of the convicts. Shoot any leads my way.
