Okay, so I am seriously considering an arowana. Ive read that the Black tends not to have as many issues with drop eye and are pretty calm with tank mates so that one is on my list. The jardini is also one I like because it is a bit more reasonable in size for me but also known to be uber...

@lloyd378, what has your experience with jardini been like? Are they are aggressive as everyone says? Are tankmates out of the question? I would consider a jardini for my 300 but would like to keep the silver dollars and some sort of large bottom fish maybe another bichir or catfish

Stopped at Aquarium Paradise on the way home and picked up some frozen mysis shrimp for the fish. Saw the tiny $299 jardini… very cool looking but out of my price range for such a tiny little fish.

Reminds me of something from the Avatar movies. A succulent of some sort?

Very cool jungle you have going there.

Sad morning, lost my big bala shark. It was doing the spinning, spiraling after I heard a huge splash. Likely it torpedoed into something. The silver dollars were freaking out as it was dying. As soon as I pulled it, they calmed down. Balas are known to freak out and I lost big ones before but...

Moving sprinklers around today…. Messy looking yard for a bit.

A rare sighting of the elusive chubby pleco Not even sure how this little guy is alive, not sure what it even eats and it really hasnt grown. The other one I had that I rehomed a while back was probably three time as big. I know it must have been eating the Omega One algae wafer I put in for it...

I went out in the garage and noticed the top cover of one of the Aquaclear popped up, usually a sign of a really dirty sponge. Sure enough it was absolutely filthy. Of course this was on my 65B goldfish tank. All clean now and a sign its time for the two filters on the 90 gallon goldfish tank too.

@sir_keith, looking good! You have been busy. Ive been doing yard work but its stuff like pulling weeds and pressure washing so just cleaning things up from the winter. Im in the process of killing moss in the lawn and trying to get the yard into shape for the summer.

Got two of the 90’s and 65B’s all gravel vac’d, mag float cleaned the glass and a good 50% water change done. I had just been doing some drain and fill water changes and it was starting to show. Funny how even the light gravel vacs can make the difference in the tanks looking so much cleaner.

Weekend of working outdoors taking advantage of the good weather, so Im behind on water changes. Kind of tired due to hours of pressure washing these past couple days so Im hoping I will have a little gumption to get at least a few tanks done tonight after work. Still trying to get my 90g...

Going through my fish food yesterday, I realized how low of stock I was on many things, so today was an order day from Chewy. Northfin and Omega One pellets this time around. Was great they had a $15 off $49 coupon (+ free shipping) because I hadn't shopped with them for a little while. Will be...

This never was reopened, still locked. I decided to do a whole new thread since its a whole new location. Will continue to keep this one closed and can just keep it here for memories sake.
