Fantabulous!!! Tx Waterfaller and keep on posting these great photos. I especially like the “new 20-gallon” with the curvy branches. That is a real work of art!!!
Hey bzzi,
What’s the scientific name of the Scarlet Badi? I can’t seem to find this fish based on this name…
Tx!
Ah I see Ted… OK, I’ve got a few MTSs in my tank, but not enough glosso growth to require pruning. Yeah from what I gather, I don’t think there’s any “automated” way to control its growth. Hmm… now if there was a creature that actually ate glosso leaf by leaf, wouldn’t that be perfect?
Hey guys, I read somewhere on the Web that Malaysian Trumpet Snails are good for planted tanks and will help aerate the substrate as well as eat up dead leaves. I have a feeling it’ll be good for glosso tanks and might help “prune” the carpet. Anyone has experience with this? Anybody has any thoughts on a “natural” pruning method like this? I strive for a balanced ecosystem in my tanks where there is zero maintenance involved.
Hello guys and welcome to the forum!
Haha tedr108, I can totally relate. My CPD aquarium is on a stand and I have to view it below gravel level so as not to scare the Celestials. They don’t take floating food, and their favorite is frozen bloodworms — although they don’t seem to have a big “storage capacity” for these. 2 worms per adult and they’re done for that meal… and even 3 worms per day seems to be the limit for each fish.
What I’ve noticed is that, now that they’re in a tank with a small group of Furcata Rainbows, they seem to be a bit bolder than if they were alone. The Furcatas are quite lively and energetic, so I think that gives the Celestials some confidence. They are indeed a timid fish.
Wow, beautiful photos Glenn! As always your fishes look in the best of health. I like the nanotank, looks clean and green.
Hikari First Bites is a good idea… it’s a fine powder.
Then Sera Mikropan. Then baby brine shrimp. Good luck!
