What did you do with your tank(s) today?

Water changes on garage tanks. Also fed whole krill to all the fish today. On the smaller fishes I had used the Hikari krill cubes which look like little sticks of krill but decided to feed the smaller whole krill this time. All the fish were happy with the treat.

Received my Ken's order. Fry pellets and cichlid pellets came in 1/2lb ziplock bags. The 4mm krill pellets came in a large canister. Well received by all those fed.

Krill pellets and the main ingredient is fish meal.
And cichlid pellets have wheat and soybean as two of the top three.
I use some of their veggie sticks but have not been impressed with their other stuff. It's cheap at least.
Sorry to be a downer.

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms.
Long, thin, slimy ones,
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one,
Up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
@fishguy1978, lol, everyone has their opinions on food. It almost felt like I was on MFK for a moment....
I actually have been tempted try the Ken's algae wafers due to cost and what I feel may be a limited benefit of a high quality food for my giant rhino pleco. I had been feeding Omega One, NorthFin and now the NLS Algaemax. Since the pleco tends to eat so much, I question if a highly concentrated, nutrient rich wafer really is of that much benefit. I feel like it just goes right through him, lol, at least thats what all the poop seems to prove. The NLS when finished up will get replaced with something a bit more economical, just need to figure out what to switch to.

My four year old figured out he can open the lowest lids on my rack and has been tossing any creature he can find in to feed the sagittae. Spiders, flies, worms, pill bugs, and who knows what else. Been prepping the garden so they've been getting lots of worms, dirt and all. Fish have been loving it.
Have you noticed that the Aqueon 125 Ensemble page has reappeared on the PetSmart website? It is not listed as being In Stock in any of their local stores, but at least the page has reappeared. Maybe getting ready for a new batch? I'm still torn between doing another 125 vs. two 75's and 40L's side-by-side.
