haha.. that was what i was thinking. Its a kind of satisfaction with yourself after all u build their house(tanks) with your both hands. Its like building a house for someone and when u see them living well and doing fine, here you goes.

yea man...

really satisfyin. i purposely bought a few plants which got thick leafs so the if babies come out they can hide there.

saw the sand will sometime have leftovers pellets, i hired 2 hin fin clown loaches to vacuum the sands...

saw the glasses n driftwood with some algaes, i hired 3 corydoras to wipe the algaes.

now i need to add one auto feeder to feed them on time.

Haha, stuck in a dilemma now...

422 coming, so I either do a planted there or a planted in my current 1.5 ft. But the pleco would definitely outgrow a 1.5 ft, so he probably needs to reside in the 422. Which means if I do planted in 1.5 ft, not many guppies will be there since I'll keep the majority of the males in the 422. Trying to stop their proliferation and keep their numbers at that.

And the costs that comes with the planted too... CO2 don't look cheap
