Yep I'm talking about my 4 new White Diamonds I got today from Kenny!!..LOL...broke my own rule kinda and dropped some frozen bloodworms
in with the lights still off just to sorta check on their appetites after the shipping/acclimation/new home process...and LO and behold they ATE!! LOL go figure huh? I think I'd eat too after being in a bag for as long as it takes to get from there to here too...lol The good thing is they are ALL out swimming the tank and poking and prodding into the corners picking and choosing their own little spots in their new world. Npw all I have to really do is buy another air pump and python for the wc regimen to begin...lol...only reason for the air pump is cause one of mine broke off a nozzle and it was the one I needed for my sponge filter. I still got the HOB filter going so it'll still all be good for a day or so anyways....and as for the python I'm one of those that doesn't swap things between tanks is all...and speaking of Pythons...do any of you ever get or had what looks like a black coating in the hose? If so how'd you get rid of it...I happened to notice it in one of mine yesterday and shut off the valve for filling and let the pressure bacl up a bit and then reopened it and it blew a bunch of filmy crap out of it....so i looked at the hoses carefully and found it in a big portion of the hoses...then I took every inch of hose thru my fingers and squeezed and rolled while running HOT water thru them into the bathtub and it cleaned the stuff off....not sure if anyone else has or has noticed this in them but just something I discovered and did when I did is all.
