Replacements...
Spent a good chunk of last night redecorating the 5.5 gal tank. Got:
• 3 corkscrew vals
• 1 potted dwarf hairgrass
• 1 bunch of red ludwigia
Stem plants like the ludwigia always drive me crazy cause they're such a pain in the ass to keep down. Grrr... Also picked up:
Smallest one they had at AF and I think it's a male. Anyway, not sure why the heck they're called "American Flag" fish cause they're not red, white and blue. But supposed to be good algae eaters so that's what I got it for. Wasn't sure at first that I wanted to get one of these cause they'll grow bigger than most of the other fish I currently have in there but seems fine so far.
Unfortunately, my previous zebra oto seemed to have been afflicted with some sort of internal bacteria infection cause it seemed to have bit bulgier eyes in the last few days than I remembered and finally passed away last night. So picked up a new one at Shark Aquarium. Hopefully it'll fare better.
