OK guys and gals.
I am tired of the BB tank in my house.
Not tired of the maintenance.
Just tired of looking at the poo all day until the next WC.
BEAUTIFUL right after the WC. Just gorgeous.
Especially in this acrylic tank with no bottom trim.
For about 1 hour.
Then.....
So, I am off to Aquatic Critter today for substrate.
I am going to use very little.
Should it be sand or gravel?
Thinking either a very coarse sand or a very fine gravel.
Am I thinking correctly?
Almost every tank I see in videos on youtube have sand.
But they are also planted tanks.
No plans here for live plants.
Been there, done that, bought the shirt.
But I think I may replace some of my plastic plants with branchy driftwood.
Also, a side note off this subject...
Pet Supermarket is right down the road from us.
They get their fish from Sun Pets in Florida.
I don't know if it is the fish stock to begin with or the way the girls in the store take care of the fish.
They are all the strongest, best fish I have ever bought from a LFS.
They even carry discus. Nothing to brag about. Only some Red Turqs and Blue Diamonds and they are all just under 3" for $30
Not the prettiest fish I have seen but boy are they strong and healthy!
Relocated a lot of our smaller discus into the new 112 in the shop office.
But not this little Red Turq that I got from Pet Supermarket a couple of months ago.
That little guy rules this big tank and the big discus.
What do you think?
Is it the stock they are getting in from Sun Pet or the way they take care of them?
