Due to work being hectic I have largely neglected it, and I have let the glass algae build up longer than I should have. I scape it off about once a a week now, it makes it look all that much better when its clean.

A few weeks ago I was having a few people over and I decided to spiff up the looks of the tank by picking up a few items while on a water run. I picked up 4 green chromis, a nice little crocea clam, an a pistol shrimp and a tiny little goby.

After dissapearing for weeks, I saw the shrimp and boby paired up in the back of the tank for the first time yesterday. The goby is litterally 1/2 inch long, its really neat to watch them interact. My other pair has relocated their home out-of-sight so I only get to hear them, as opposed to see them. So I am glad that this pair ended up in a place that I can see them.

The chromis and clams are doing fine, schooling as expected.

Also, my green BTA split! One morning I woke up and there were two! On an unrelated, and slighty dissapointing note, one of the green-mojano’s in my tank split, so now I have 3. I haven’t busted out the Kalkwasser to kill them just yet, they are pretty neon green.

Until next time!
