WarDog's Tank Thread : Episodic Trial And Error

Tank's looking good Warren! That suspected Bubble Algae is Bubble Algae - it comes in several different varieties. Not all Emeralds will eat it ime. If you want small fish, make sure you buy female Emeralds. Just the males get the big pincers, and they will catch small fish.

Get a spray bottle and some hydrogen perxoide from the dollar store and spray down the snail wait five minutes and put it back in the tank. that Amino acid should not be used if you have GHA it will just unlease a beast of algae on the tank.

Mindy, good to know. I'm thinking of picking up a couple more Emeralds as the bubble algae is starting to get out of hand and the one dude isn't making a dent. I'll make sure to flip the crabs and check their sex, as I am only interested in adding small fish at this point and maybe a Copperband, as the centrepiece.

Surprisingly the GHA hasn't returned in a few weeks. The Trocus snails are breeding rapidly and keeping it in check. Either way, good info, thanks!

Thanks man, I was thinking the same about your tank as well. Hate waiting.

Another few additions from Ryanerickson, running out of room fast. Only planning to add a few more 'must have' specimens.

Jedi Mind Trick.



Orange Yuma.



Random Acro I'm naming Uranium 231, lol. Much brighter than the picture shows.



Bubble algae is getting out of hand, and my Emerald seems to be MIA. Time to pick up a few more me thinks.
Parameters are good, still hoping for things to colour up. Dropped the intensity of the Kessils a bit, as I suspect I may be bleaching stuff.
Considering adding T5 strips, and using the Kessils as LED supplements. All the boys running hybrids seem to be very happy. I want to be happy too!
Also moved some rock around on the bottom right.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
