DETAquarium Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Great start! I am looking forward to the progress, I have looked into that clip light a few times. Let me know how you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I agree to nice start. Keep us updated on the light I'm thinking of switching my current light. Is this tank going to be a bare bottom tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 The light is a little small for the tank. The goose neck is not long enough to center the light and wish it were a little brighter. Eventually I'll replace it with a 12" light bar. I don't have any gravel in the tank now as I was trying out the Riccia carpet with the wire on the glass however I'm noticing the snails crawling under the wire mesh and it is sliding all over.

Elo500 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I added 10 Tangerine Tigers last week but I'm only seeing 6. I may not have dripped them long enough, they were in crs water and I'm using salty 7.5. The riccia ground cover is starting to take off. The apple snails have laid eggs.

Elo500 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Did a little clean up on the tank today and moved back the Riccia to have open space up front. Still have not had to trim it. mayphly and sewoeno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I really like the Riccia carpet. I bet the tigers are enjoying it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pretty Spixi. Too bad they aren't offered more often now that they're illegal to cross state lines. I know some people who have kept them just to make sure hydra don't pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I've read the rumors of a mailing restriction on spixi but have not been able to find the actual written legal verbiage. They really do clear out th hydra. Only one of my spixi have laid eggs but has been prolific so I moved the clutches to a nursary tank, a few have hatched already. I just wish my tigers would do the same. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I used to have some that someone sent me. Ate hydra, and were very prolific. Unfortunately I found out they were illegal in IL and I destroyed them before I got in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's too bad soothing. I'm having trouble figuring out where spixi ape prohibited. Wish there was a central database for these things. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
