As a side note, they actually make teeny weeny voodoo dolls now that are kinda cute and single purpose.. I got one for my husband that says “I love my job!” To remind him not to lose his mind at work.

I have the nurse one, of course. I got the boys the “son” one, but I just saw they have one about “making you the best brother” possible- May need to buy a bushel of those.

Tank is looking great these days and I have been having a small nerita snailsplosion. Lots of baby plain neritas in there! I like having a self renewing resource.

Clown loach is getting more friendly, or maybe outgrowing the hull of the fake battleship?

The clown loach has been more visible, out swimming lately! He’s really in there. 

 

Also, to make the tetra police happy there’s a new little orange Glowfish. I’m thinking the big fat angel may have to trade up soon.

Fish have been doing well, as evidenced by the enormously fat koi angel. They've all been getting along and I'm seeing good plant growth lately, which is promising. Have been using Seachem Flourish Advanced and it seems to really be doing a good job with the plant growth.

Freshwater tank is plugging along with good plant growth. Fish are all happy and doing well. Put a new background on the tank today. Not sure it was needed but doesn’t take away from it at least.

Haven’t updated this tank in a long time, but it’s doing really well! I change the water and siphon the gravel about once a month or maybe two.... gonna have to rehome the clown loach and koi angel soon. If the weather will stay fairly warm should be no

problem acclimating then to the pond.

I’ve got some babies on the way!! I hear possibly Cory cat eggs, which would be super useful. Aside from the Glowfish which are possibly sterile from all the dye I’m sure they’re given to make them glow, there’s only the Cory cats paired. So excited to see

this little tank doing well after it gave me so much trouble at first.

So cool!! Didn't know you had a thread for this tank!!

Oh yeah but I hardly ever update it. I’m a bad fish mom and need to move the koi angelfish to the pond. May need to get another heater first.

So, I moved the obese koi angel fish to the heated pond yesterday. Of course today it's 70 degrees and will be in the 80s this week, so the heater probably wasn't super necessary. But definitely wanted to make sure he adapted well. 

 

The almost 8 year old owner of the glowfish tank decided on a koi betta which he's been wanting for ages. He picked out a really pretty one, who's already chosen the end of the tank with the plants. "Tex" looks good in there.

 

Clowny the red tip clown loach is probably almost 3 inches long now. He will be the next to head for the pond, but by then it should be warm all the time. Next year I'll probably get a second heater for the other end so that it stays nice and warm for him and the angelfish.

So had to make a keep the 7/almost 8 year old happy purchase today, by means of a baby marble angel. The big koi angel who moved to the pond had developed swim

bladder problems and is currently upside down in an isolation bucket. Not sure if he’s gonna make it; gonna get a TB syringe at work tomorrow to see if I can drain the bladder and help him out. 
 

Tex the koi betta is doing well in there especially loving the plants. Glad everyone is getting along.

The two new guys, Tex the koi betta and Dark Angel the marbled angel, are doing super well. Cleaned the HOB out real well today and topped off the water.
