D-34 cleanout

I had to throw away all the clams and snails

They were not making my tank cleaner but polluting it so much that

My fish had almost died

They made so much waste and did not clean up anything

After throwing out the snails and clams Jessica seemed much happier

And made a huge bubble nest

I think might be moving on to just blogging about my life instead of

Blogging about my fish.


Stay tuned!

D-21 Algaes



At last my algae shipment has arrived , it came in a small envelope.
They were much smaller than I thought they would be but then all is good because my tank is very small and I had to cut most of them in half to fit it in my tank.


My mini aquariam is starting to look more complete with some greens in it.
These algaes are suppose to grow very fast and the seller stated that I would need
alot of trimming to do. Hopefully It grows enough so I can share this with my girlfriend's aquarium as well.





It was very difficult to plant these algaes into my small pebble box. I hope they can grow well in pebbles because I do not want to introduce any dirt in to my tank.
I might need to scoop some fine sand from a nearby lake or creek.




Jessica seems to be loving its new plants. Its exploring around, hiding between the plants, taking a bite and just loving it!

D-19 Arrival of Clean up Crew!

The cleanup crew , clams snails , and shells have arrived
only 2 came dead and rest seemed okay!
I was hoping the shipment was for the aquatic plant but hopefully these shellfishes
will keep Jessica's home abit more cleaner and enjoyable for him.



the box!



eeeeeeeeeergh yuck this was very stinky and gross, smelled very salty when they were suppose to be good for fresh water tanks...



a lone ranger Jessica, must miss his love as well; as he is staring at the heart.



welcome the new aquatic family, who will eat off Jessica's waste and leftover food



Jessica seems very puzzled and frightend with the arrival of the new family







Jessica seemed very cautious and abit frightend with these new shell fishes in his tank. perhaps because it used to love hiding between the rocks but then now all the spaces are filled with these shells . He kept floating near the surface and avoided staying low near the shells and clams.

We'll have to wait and see the results if the cleanup crew actually cleans up the mess or not. Because so far the clams and shells have been emiting these white little pieces of unknown things and actually made the tank messier so far...
but we'll have to wait and see.
