JoeR Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 How's the algae scrapper work? I need one for my 3gallon so I'm just curious Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 It works pretty good so far. 1 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Going to do a water change tonight after work. I believe I'm going to get a yellow clown goby or something like that. Quote Link to comment
Simulated Fish Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Any sign of the pom pom? How are your tank prams? Inverts are very sensitive to changes and elevated levels. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You might be able to spot when feeding or possibly at night. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment

Geek Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Decided to go fishing didn't catch nothing. Was hoping to catch one of these for my fw tank. Quote Link to comment

Simulated Fish Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 @Geek what is it?! Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's a springer damsel or something like that. They told me they are great for new tanks since they are hardy and most people use them to cycle tanks. Quote Link to comment

They do, and they frequently end up with an extremely aggressive blue damsel as a result. (not because of the cycle but just because damsels tend to survive the cycle and are ornery as a rule.)

Geek Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's the only fish going to be in the tank, wouldn't it be fine? Quote Link to comment

Definitely do not put any other fish in there unless you want a battle royal. As a side note, I suspect 2 gallons is nowhere near enough water volume for a damsel, but I'm sure you will soon find out. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm going to say bleep it and upgrade to a 5.5g. The only problem is my light is made for rimless tanks. I don't want to buy a new light. Quote Link to comment

That planted tank is very pretty, every time I start one I get lazy about triming and pruning so I end up breaking it down. Quote Link to comment
