    It has begun.
    Sorry for the bad angle. That room is now more fishtank than office. Had to crop a lot to make the upload fit, but you get the idea

    Just done a 20% wc for the soon to be moved lot, all scratches from netting are healed and they’re back to their former glory and nosyness.

    ETA 9 days for the newbies, time to get the qt going. I’m adding a small canister for this week with uncycled media just to keep the water in motion and will just before they arrive add one of the 2180 from the blues. Might seem odd to some, but that’s usually how I do it. Every fish that enters the house will eventually have to live in the same environment as the existing stock. I should probably call this “holding” rather than quarantine. I know the source of the fish and know what they have been treated with since their arrival in Germany from Brazil, so infectious diseases are highly unlikely. Since it looks like it will be another month at least until the big move, they might as well get comfortable in here for the time being.
    IAL and alder cones just added, will do the usual humic/fulvic addition closer to their arrival.

    The exporter in Germany just sent me this video. He has separated all my fish into their own tank. Some nice ones in there

    Be still my heart! so beautiful! I bet you can hardly wait to get them and your tank. Shipping delays happen all too frequently here too.

    Hardly wait, or sleep. I must have watched that 23 second video 50 times now, no end in sight.

    The fish shipment is still on schedule, all paperwork is at the stage it should be at this point.

    If one of the mods could maybe embed the video into the post properly I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
    Regards,
    Tobi

    Thanks, yes, I got lucky with this one. The more I look at my blues/reds the more I think they really really messed up the collection locations. In my opinion there are at least 4 different ones, yet claimed to be 2. This one and the other few reds look like from the Alenquer region, and the rest is anyone’s guess.
