New Home! Kinda . . . .
Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 3:09 pmWell, I went to visit family and help out a friend who's pregnant for a week, and somewhere in the insanity that ensued and plagued me the entire time, I managed to get under my Mom's house and get some goodies for Speedy and Shiloh. Now they have a filter! Whoo-hoo! And a stick!
But first, the huge tank my Mother has been wonderful enough to maintain for me for over a year now, and keep my pleco Sakana alive. When I move to a bigger place, this will be the turtles new home too.
Sakana, who started out under an inch and is now 13inches. This is why I'm more worried about the turtles than I am the pleco, I plan to put them together when I have space. Her head is as big as both my turtles combined right now. She's fat.
Mom thought more guppies would be too expensive, so I got her some goldfish. If she's putting all the work in the tank, she deserves some enjoyment from it. I don't know what'll happen to the goldies when I get the tank back . . .
New setup, same ol' 20gal! I added the filter, replaced the vases with actual aquarium decor, and put in a huge piece of grapevine I had but never used. They love that vine. Tried to eat it until they discovered they could climb it too. Oh yeah, and it's on a stand. Had soooo much fun packing everything in a suitcase to bring back on the train.
They like to sleep in the two curves in the vine. Sooo cute. And I catch them basking in different spots every day so far. They seem to be enjoying their new environment.
