Roach's Fishroom Nest

Bought some new fish mostly rasboras, danios and barbs.

In the main panda garra tank, this black and red blur is becoming the bane of my existence. The sharks have become relentless chasing everything and anything. I need to remove all rocks to catch them in the different tanks. Once they are out, i can add the smaller panda garra in too.

Discovered some anchor worms on the adult garra. Been checking for the past few days and they seem to have come off. Don't see anymore on them. But will need to clean glass for a clearer view. And when redoing tank, I make put them in a smaller container for a closer look.

Also need to catch these fish eventually to redo the tanks. Getting an itch to switch
things around.20241017_233746.jpg

The rainbows have grown in nicely.

For the time being guppy females I want to keep are growing out in here. They will get their own tank after the switch arounds happen.

Passed a group fishing in the stream near my place and stopped to check what they were fishing. Asked some questions but they didn't know much. A lot of invasive species. There are less and less natives in this area which is so sad to see. People throwing the aquarium fish into rivers. I am surprised they are surviving the cold spells we are having.

@duanes are your cichlid hawk eyes able to ID any of these?
I may decide to take a day during our upcoming Lunar New Year vacation and see how many different species I can catch and ID in this stream.
 
Finally repaired (or patched) the crack last month. Where I come from this is referred to as a Heath Robinson job., aka a Mickey mouse job, jerry-rigged, slapdash. Choose your saying.
I didn't need good looking as I am planning to cover the bottom in substrate. Just needed sharp edges and corners covered in silicone so I don't inadvertently cut myself one day.

Tried a bit of aquaponic growing. Was not very successful but didn't expect much with the cheap lights I use.

I keep 4 species of air plants above my tanks. For the first time in my life I have seen them flower. It was unexpected and I didn't even notice it starting. Love these and hope they bloom again.
