I got the first tank at new years, and since then I have slowly expanded. I now have in my office a 30L cube aquarium for shrimp and snails. The mini ramshorn snails took my tank in the living room over, and I wanted to put some assassin snails in there.//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/03/02/welcome-sight/Mon, 02 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/03/02/welcome-sight/When I woke up today, I was greeted by this sight in my tank. Luckily, it was not the algae itself which greeted me, but that it finally turned red. As that is the sign it is dying. This marks a turning point in my battle with Staghorn algae. It appeared about 4 weeks in the tank, and slowly has taken over a lot of the plant leaves - the anubias, the java fern and the grass.//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/02/25/new-critters/Mon, 24 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/02/25/new-critters/Last friday, at Feb 21st, I started putting in the last species which is planned for the living room tank right now. Leopard Corydora (corydora trilineatus) These are a little bit more sensitive fish, so they came now quite late in the setup process of the new tank. They are bottom dwellers, and sift through the sand, so it was especially important to get rid of the blue-green algae first.//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/02/20200211-whose-algae-wafer-is-it-anyway/Tue, 11 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000//test.hoffrichter.no/blog/2020/02/20200211-whose-algae-wafer-is-it-anyway/Whose algae wafer is it anyway? Sometimes, things can get a little bit confrontative during feeding time. Here, the bristlenose pleco, for who the waver is actually, had just discovered it, but the guppies didn’t want to let it go. The pleco basically lay on top of the waver for a bit, but the combined might of the guppies had him retreat in the end.
