yesterday, i went and got a SMALL piece of driftwood...my god, $13.00...!!!
it is a new on the shelf piece, not like the $5.00 one i got a couple of weeks ago, at another pet store, that was taken out of a tank.....
the pet store i went to yesterday, does not sell "tank used driftwood", in fact, all of thier tanks has "stone/plaster type" of fake driftwoods......
so i had to read up on and watch a video on how to "pre-soak it"
also got 2 more live plants....another java fern and another amazon sword.
i think i am going for a more "natural tank", rather than a playful one, with the treasure chest and other "toys"...etc.etc.
i also got 5 zebra danio...man are the ACTIVE swimmers like the description says they are...!!!!!!!
i had to go into my neighbors yard (he is remodeling his rental property) and i got a nice rock, to hold down the driftwood till it soaks up more water and bacteria.
i will put the driftwood in the tank in a few minutes.
had pre-soaked the driftwood for several hours, in a bucket, using hot water, and i changed the water several times, to help remove "some of that tannis ::
::...which is not harmful to the fish, but as you know, may darken the water.
when it is all said and done, i will send a pic or 2, trying to include the "baby" blue wag that is really growing these days, and will very soon, be as big as the one i bought about 3 weeks ago..>!!!
as you know (if i had mentioned it here, or in an email to a buddy of mine), i also got a "nearly matching" gallons per hour output, powerhead to circulate the water and create oxygen.
i just sometimes forget (not a good idea sometimes), where i posted some things.......
old age......does that to ya.......
shut up
@Stimpy .....!!!!!!!
