Well, another week has gone by and time for the post update. Man, I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Things have been going very well. The fish have been eating like little pigs and they really aren't too picky about what I put in for food. Still aren't too keen on brine shrimp, they'll eat it but they don't attack it like they do everything else. I've still got my bully in there who also happens to be the biggest. Funny thing is that another one has started to show up that will stand up to the first. It also turns out to be the smallest one. :) The fish seem to be getting more color to them as well as the torquise striations are becoming more evident. At least in person because the darn flash washes out colors. Obviously still need to play with the camera settings and quit being lazy using auto mode.
I made a change to the tank decorations within the last week. After the tank had been up for a bit, I put a piece of grapevine in for a change of scenery. Well, it developed the whitish growth on it that wood so often does. I put a BN pleco in there to take care of it but he just wasn't doing the job as fast as I'd like. Then I noticed that one of the fish was rubbing his gill plate against the flower pot. Well, I decided to get rid of the real wood and put in a fake piece. Things seem to be going better after that.
