I forgot where I left off with my aquarium updates and I can't be bothered to check, but oh hell....so much has happened. Anyway my baby shrimps are now big enough to graduate into a bigger tank, and seeing them happily swimming around in their new home has motivated me to upgrade the environment for them!!
You will not believe how I have neglected the tank in the past month, basically the grass were all uprooted and floating around for WEEKS. I finally got myself to plant them properly in the foreground and added rocks around the "garden" to secure that area in case any fish go on a rampage and uproot everything. I also bought some big leafed cabbage looking plant to plant on the ground, but the main star is the fluttering plant you see sprouting everywhere. I have no idea what's the name but DAMN it sure as hell added a dreamy touch to my aquarium!!!!
These plants are possibly the best buy I ever had for my 5 gallon tank, the shrimps ABSOLUTELY love them!!! Oh by the way I have like 40 or so shrimps swimming around now, it's really a joy to see them having fun around the new plants. See all the red dots in the background? Yea shrimps, tons of them. And all were from the original mama shrimp, the very FIRST and last survivor of my original tank, POWER RITE!! One thing I love about the new plants is that they kinda had this bamboo forest illusion going on when I lie on my bed and stare at them towering up, everything looks even more wonderful with guppies and shrimps swimming around them.
I also bought a fighting fish at a moment of weakness!! It's still very young so I hope in a month's time his growing fins will get MASSIVE. Luckily he is very mild and didn't attack the other fish, I hope it stays that way haha. Anyway it's in the 10 gallon now with only 2 tetras and a few other chapalan algae feeders. The rest of the minnows and tetras have died and I fed it to my crayfish haha!!
I placed all the snails into the 10 gallon coz I wanna wait for the grass in the 5 gallon to stabilise and spread first, these buggers have the tendency to uproot every fuck shit they see. Anyway the snail FUCKING CUTE RITE!!!?!? Omg gotta love mystery snails man!!! The face seriously looks like some ancient pokemon.
These are the current snails I have, but I have two other horned nerite snails (ponyo and ponyo junior) which are not in the picture. The green one has been reproducing like MAD, and every now and then I put my hand in to crush all the babies LOL. Omg I am so evil....but if I don't kill them they will swarm my tank. I don't know how the snail has been reproducing alone without a mate though.
My Jungle tank is more or less complete, I'm just hoping the grass will spread well. My dream for that tank will be an entire floor covered with grass, and that is fucking hard I swear. For my 10 gallon tank it's still rocks and moss, I have yet to think about how I'm gonna spice it up to look more complete. Here's hoping that the tanks stay healthy in their current state, and everyone have a blessed healthy life ahead as the end of this decade is drawing near!!
