Ugh water nightmares around here but finally some progress. In the meantime I bought a nice blue line of bettas from someone and have been trying to breed them.
Over the past 2 weeks I actually got a tank running without toxic water. I bought 3 platy to test it out and over the weekend added 6 baby bristlenose plecos. I found the lava rock won't stack all the way up on it's own. I didn't want to take the time to glue sections together so I did a half wall and curved the right side some. The sad twigs in front of the filter are aquatic mint that got frosted on the way here and is already leafing up. Lamiaceae species are so hard to kill no matter where they grow. :lol:
