Emmanuel's 2.5 gallon - Page 3 - MyFishTank.Net Freshwater Saltwater Aquarium Fish Forum

Oh snap! That is one awesome looking tank. It definitely looks bigger than a 2.5.
I especially like the little elephant in there, haha.

Kinda sad, though. The first picture in MY journal is of someone else's good looking tank, haha.

haha... the elephant rules!!!

I lost one puffer, she got picked on too much cause she was so small, and the two remaining looked stupid in a 10 gallon so I put them in there. It might be pushing it, having two DPs in a 2.5 but aggression has actually dropped to almost none in this tank opposed to the other where the dominant one was horrible.

Considering it took me literally 2.5 minutes to set this up, the victory doesnt seem too rewarding... haha just washed some sand, threw in any extra plants, added a tiny filter and water from the 46 (that i also use for top off cause my desk lamp seems to cause a bit of evaporation).

Well EC? I have been bugging you for pics since the start lol. Not Unwritten's fault you move at a snail's pace when it comes to pics (not that I should say much..... lol) haha I would love to see some though.

anything would be better than mine now.... its cyano heaven..... must be soemthing in the water at my apartment...hopefully a 72 hour blackout will help

unwritten law · 06-22-2009, 07:38 PM

72 hour blackout didn't really help but a good scrubbing did... I found a snail the size of the puffers in my 16 gallon (we used to use it to house feeder snails) and put it in the 2.5.... I don't think the puffers can mess with it but I want to see them try!

Gee, why don't we make this unwritten's 2.5 gallon journal!

Haha.

Ishar, you'll get your photos when I go back home this weekend

... I'm hoping it's not algae town by the time I get back... There was some GSA on the glass when I left a month ago.

unwritten law · 06-22-2009, 08:07 PM

yeah... id did realize that i am hijacking a bit.... sorry and no more... haha... I will try and show a pic of that snail vs. puffers... maybe not here but some where.

emmanuelchavez · 06-23-2009, 05:46 PM

Haha, that's just me being sarcastic.

In all honest, I deserve that, for teasing with word updates, instead of picture updates. I actually think Ishar put you up to it as punishment for not providing pictures before going out of town like I said I would, haha.

unwritten law · 06-23-2009, 05:50 PM

maybe..... maybe

ishar · 06-23-2009, 08:57 PM

No big deal EC- I have only been waiting for ***2 months*** since you said you'd post pics lol.
