Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I have a 10 year old pleco. We call him Algenon. He only eats algae if it's in wafer form.

Would he like some flowers?

edit: n/m those are for Algernon*

I did have, some green dragon bn plecos. The females don’t get the bristles like the males do. Although they all have them in their gills. They puff them out when mad and it’s adorable.

Did you know that you can hold a pleco by their noses and that’s also one of the easiest ways to ahem? Males will have a more tender soft snoot and females will have a harder one. It’s quite cool and believe it or not they won’t flip out. I catch my fish by hand and even did the plecos. It’s easier to move them.

I’ve got 2 pictus cats in there too, and an upside down cat as well. Lots of competition for the algae, I do not scrape the glass ever. The scrubber just sits there on the side for some extra cover, the fattest barb likes that corner the best.

I did not know that...

These aren’t mine but to show what I mean. It’s easier on them cause their fins get stuck in nets. This way you don’t hurt them and they don’t hurt you. I trained mine to come up to me by hand feeding.

It was a shotgun wedding. Just a joke, but it stuck.

I knew they steal food, but didn't realize they'd eat them.

They used to keep my zoas in check while in my other tank , I guess they kept the habit. But attacking my hammer heads babys ? thats a no no.

 

[anon9896]

That's any shrimp...

in fact that specific shrimp needs to be spot fed on a daily basis

My pederson bounces across the trachy and steals food like a Boss!

Already done and done. This is the exact same pattern that occurred with the other pump before it died for good. My reef was fine, I just took some water out, so the water level in the back was where it’s supposed to be for filtration purposes. Apparently 9x turnover is enough...my Goni was actually happier with the lower flow! Took forever to get it to fully open again after the new pump went online, it is such a finicky beast.

@living_tribunal you read that last part right

Oh what’s that goni? Ya, Magellan doesn’t speak coral.

He says screw yourself magellan
