Look how big Raphael has gotten ♥️ I’ve had him for almost 2 years now

First fish into the 125g! A small group of marble hatchets (I’ll definitely have to get another group later, but that was all the LFS had in stock) and a cutie snowball pleco :)

The first eggs on the spawning mop from the C volcanum! Not that they’ve ever needed a mop, but now I can attempt to raise them intentionally. The male in the pictures is actually one of the fry who’s just hit sexual maturity, and he’s so beautiful. I also spotted another new baby during the water change today, which makes a minimum of 4 who’ve survived with the adults without any intervention. The father never comes to the front of the tank unless there’s food, so it’s nice to be able to see a male, for once!

The “big” tank is doing well! Still dealing with the first round of diatoms and algae but it should clear up after the cycle is complete and I do some serious water changes. Lots of runners and plant growth already!

So my hot tip is to always put something up back there. It can be a dark piece of paper or a black cloth, nothing expensive… just whatever is working for you to cover up the wallpaper or cables and tubes, if you feel about that like me.

fishcourse is very real and very terrible

Last one for tonight… this is The Frozen Daphnia Freakout.

The only cool spot in the apartment.
