Picked up a 10g tank during the Petco sale, yay! I want tiny schooling fish to bring me joy.
Stole play sand from BF (tyty :icon_redf):
Lots of washing (sandy apartment bathtub :icon_sad, but it cleared up in a few days!
Added Vallisneria something, Java ferns, one tiny elodea, and very sad looking dwarf sag. Oh, and floating...somethings.
Also driftwood and rocks I found on the beach. Don't worry, I soaked them first! :thumbsup:
Then a clamp on Home Depot light with 13 watts.
Ordered an Aqueon Quiet Ninja Whisper something filter from Amazon:
It lives up to its name! Stuffed it with some old sponges I appropriated from betta tank and, for extra non-cycling action, hung the old filter in the new tank too. Betta was up/downgraded to a new sponge filter. Doesn't seem to make him a better swimmer but oh well. :icon_sad:
5 pygmy cories, 2 bloodfin tetras, and 2 stowaway nerites later:
Tada!
It is sitting on my kitchen counter, which I feel is the safest place for an aquarium to be: ~fifty percent chance of pouring water straight into the sink if it (omgno) decides to leak. Genius! :fish:
Here is a cory:
which I think is just the cutest thing ever because they move through the tank pretty much like this: :bounce:
Next Plans:
Add a couple more cories these guys are TINY. Replace tetras. Derpy impulse buy from Petco = super active and kinda big fish that are not very happy. :iamwithst
Thinking about a school of colorful CPDs/Danio Erythromicron/something??. I would like to have a go at breeding and these seem like small peaceful guys, if kind of expensive (~$5 each owies :icon_eek.
