Today was a bummer day in my fish room... I came outside to find my 13” female umbee completely descaled and missing an eye!

apparently my male snapped and went after her! She had a hiding spot, but rarely used it as for the last year and 1/2 they have got along peacefully and bred like clockwork about once a month.....

im just going to keep the male by himself now, though I do believe he earned the Nick name “OJ”

When I got home tonight she had labored breathing and was listing a bit, so I put her out of her misery.....

Pothos filter upgrade. Using a Hydor canister I acquired for circulation. Drains through the hole in the bottom of the pot. I would rather get a trough style planter and use a bulkhead for a guaranteed return to the tank. Kinda iffy about it right now.
Hydor has some eheim balls and miscellaneous sponge pieces for bb.

@fishguy1978, I have some pothos starts going to try some filtration myself. I was thinking of adapting the ac110 filter housing to hold plants. Idea was based off the elive aqua-duo

I have an AC 50 running on the 55g with no media that would be ideal to try. I stopped at Lowe’s and grabbed a window planter and in 5min had a pothos filter running on the 220g.

Lots of fish work, mostly water changes over the weekend. Visited Midway for some pretty livebearers, a couple of gouramis and some flagfish, which I've never kept before. All in QT at the moment. Went to Petsmart and impulse bought an FX6 for $250 but planning to return it because I really don't need it hahaha. Marble goby arriving today! Pics to follow... Have a nice week everyone!

Today was a bit of boredom so I took off for a drive and ended up at Midway, then Sierra and finally at the Aquarium Co-Op. No fish came home with me on the journey of boredom, lol. I did get a small piece of mopani, a plastic plant and some sponges, real exciting stuff!
