Looks nice. Even though it looks like you’re in so cal, I don’t think the tank is deep enough to not have the temp fluctuating and causing ich. But we’ll see. GL

What makes you say that?
They’ll be fine. Parents, birthplace, glass 60 full of brothers and sisters wiTing to come in and purge for 36 hours prior to shipping.

These fish will break rocks all day in the hot sun and sleep all night in a hollow log- drink there water from the devils hoof print and whip his pointy ear dog.

Too bad they’re so ugly!! Ha

They are doing so well. One of them is definitely the boss. The most colorful - male I’m guessing - is the boss. He has a small sand sifting spot that he keeps to himself. I also found some tiny fish. Pretty sure it’s a baby molly, but I don’t think they can grow that fast, so it probably just snuck in with the plants. My dithers are working out fine, even though they are…mixed. The Platy copies what the gymnos do - it’s halarious. He picks at the sand.

Newcomer is probably a mosquitofish. They like to come with plants.

Well, I found 2 little clumps of snail eggs! Also, around 7 other mini mosquito fish. So could they have came from the lone mosquitofish?

 

[Deadeye]

Did you get plants with the fish? That would be the source.

PondCulture.

only culture for me

 

[The Masked Shadow]

No, I didn’t. The fish did not come with the plants.

 

[Deadeye]

No, I didn’t. The fish did not come with the plants.

Hmm maybe the mosquitofish was pregnant then?

 

[The Masked Shadow]

That’s my thoughts.
