COVID Hobby: Aquascaping

5/4/2021

0 Comments

 
Last summer, I started a new hobby along with lots of other COVID-housebound folks. Aquariums! 

First, I got a DOOA neo glass air nano tank and outfitted it with a CO2 system. All the glass accessories look so cool in the tank. Later on, I got another DOOA short tank for shrimp and plants, but alas, the shrimp all died and it's now only devoted to plants and a terra planter. Since I'm a DOOA fan, I got their medium sized terra planter and wrapped it with sheet moss and added a mini orchid, maidenhair fern, and some other mounding fern. I spritz it daily to keep it moist.

I had lots of fun choosing fish. We've been going to all the local fish stores in the Seattle area. I've had a lot of creatures and most have died... At first I had a 3 rummy nose tetras with a 2 albino plecostomus (pleco) to eat algae and  snail, but those died. At one point, I accidently put too much CO2 in my tank and suffocated everything but the snail which crawled out. I've also had 3 pea puffers (my favorite, but they all killed each other), at least 8 shrimps, a brown pleco which I think was eaten. Right now, I only have a betta and snail. I'm guessing my tank was overloaded for it's size and couldn't support all the creatures and their poops. Once my brown pleco disappeared, so did most of my hairy algae. It's crazy how active my snail is now that the pleco is gone.
