I played the ever-fun game of Extreme Tank Swap tonight! Its like regular Tank Swap, only involving 3 of my 4 tanks LOL

I moved Link (a King Betta), the 4 Endlers (2 males, 2 females), and my Purple Mystery Snail into the 10 gallon, after moving Chiisai and one of the Nerite Snails into the 30 gallon and Plutto and the other Nerite Snail in the 3 gallon, then undividing the 10 gallon, so Link could go in there.

The two fish in the 3 gallon (a Guppy named Jacob and an Endler) were moved into the 30 gallon.

What really funny is this whole thing depended on one thing: If Chiisai could get along with the Cherry Barbs in the 30 gallon! Its a good thing he's just as spaztastic as they are lol

On with the pics!

Starting here, with the 30 gallon!


We'll start with Jacob, the male Guppy. He is part of a line that I *sorta* created, that bred true about 90% of the time (when bred to a sibling or parent). For having all those fins, he's quick!

Up next is Endler. Pretty sure he's a hybrid, by looking at his dorsal fin (if you cant tell, it looks just like Jacob's), and the fact that he is Guppy-sized.

Fear me and my ability to get a clear shot a Cherry Barb! (but not a Guppy...?)

From the pictures, your tanks look great...^_^. Plutto seems to be saying, "No! I shall not smile for the big creepy camera. I'll intimidate you all with my looks.." Lol! soo..funny... x_________^

Neyways, I did some new aquascaping with my tanks this last week when I did my water changes and tank maintenance. I used some river rocks that I found and sterilized by the river outside where I live. Ima take pictures soon when I get another light for my 2.5 gallon.

I also decided to place my two Nano filters back into my divided 5 gallon again due to the protein film that was beginning to build up. I even made itty bitty refillable carbon bags for them cause I hate those pads. It cost less for me to buy a bottle of activated carbon than replacing the pads...lol!

Thanks lol I just kinda throw my tanks together. Not much planning goes into them, untill it comes to stock sweatdrop

I use AquaClear filter sponges in all my filters. Much cheaper.

That's cool.... ^_^ I figured it would be cheaper for me since I have three different kinds of filters. I usually buy a box of big polishing pads for about 4-6 dollars every two-three months so I can cut them to fit different sizes of my filters. I made the DIY carbon mini bags from a 100% non-colored cotton scarf I got in the craft section for a $1.00. I figured it's cheaper in the long run than buying the actual replacement pads for about 2-4 dollars a piece once a month. ^_^ The jar of carbon should last me about almost a year. I tend to over-plan....sorry.... sweatdrop
