PokeSephiroth's Fish Journal

Well, I've been a member on this forum for few months now, and I definitely feel at home with everyone on here. Perhaps starting a journal on here would be pretty neat I'll post whatever random things come to mind when I have something fishy that I want to talk about... or just post pictures of my fish and shrimp, because I'm so fascinated in them.

Here's a couple pictures of my most recent purchase, 4 Julii Corydoras for my 10 gallon "shrimp" tank. My shrimp tank is turning more and more fishy, than keeping it a "invertebrate only tank" . . . but I will still call it a shrimp tank, tokeep things simple. They're so cute!! AHHH!!!

Here's a video of the 10 gallon tank:



UPDATE 3/2/2013
........ clipped some plants in my 10 gallon tank, and... I may have butchered my java moss wall . . . you can totally see the plastic pieces now. Ugh. I feel like I just had a bad haircut. I hope it grows back. If not, well... I have a lot of java moss now, to start a new one, but maybe I won't do another moss wall next time. We'll see.

On a positive note, the tank is much brighter now, and I plan on growing the plant clippings, to sell/trade. Yay?

UPDATE 3/4/2013
I'm ready for the Seattle Area Aquarium Swap. Are you? Got my name tag in my hand. . . can't wait for Saturday!

UPDATE 3/19/2013
"Cleaned" out the 10 gallon planted tank, took out the Julii Corys and transfered them to the 36 gallon bow front tank. Wooo... refilling up the 10 gallon tank, and it is MURKY IN THERE. I was able to separate all the fish and shrimp though, so now, I'm going to strictly keep the 10 gallon a TRUE invertebrate ONLY tank. Woo. Sponge filter, work your magic.

Water is clearing up, thanks to the canister filter! WOO!![You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

What kind of canister filter is that?

BillHN, it's an Eheim 2232 Canister Filter, I had to make my own spray bar out of some extra hose I had lying around the house, just drilled some holes, and plugged the end, and it works! The 2232 Canister filter seems like it has been discontinued though. I wish they hadn't, because it's pretty frickin awesome

Water is almost clear! ALLLLMOOOST!! Can't wait to put in my cherry shrimp back in there!

Well... water just about cleared up. I'm happy. Shrimp are happy. WHEEEE!!![You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You don't mess around when you decide to do something! Looks good.
I get all sorts of ideas and then never get around to doing them.

Oh... your last updated is dated April instead of March.

Betty, thanks! and whoops! Thanks again for catching that!
