Tanks have been doin pretty good lately. Betta in basement is missing 2 or three scales, but that might be due to being in a new tank. The Clown Loache has been doin a GREAT job eating all those damn snails. I need to get another one for my baby tank.
The Heater in the 20 gallon basement tank has been iffy lately, with one day having a temp of 90 degrees! Killed three of my white cloud's. Damn thing.
I'm surprised by my plecos in both my tanks. They haven't gotten HUGE like the other ones I've had.

Bought some new plants for my 20 and 5 gallon. A swordplant, banana plant, and microswords. Put the banana plant in the 5 gallon, so it can get nice and lush without being pecked at.

So far the plants have done pretty well. Discovered some baby fish in the upstairs tank. Looks like the female Red wagtail platy upstairs isn't doin too well...it's hanging out on the bottom.

Went out over the weekend and bought a couple fish for my mom's tank in the living room. A pair of angelfish and lyre swordtails. They already paired up, and look quite content. Other then that, my basement 20 gallon has been foggy ever since I changed the water 4 days ago, and alot of the plants seem to be not doing well. Hmm..

Let's see...my basement tank has had an algae bloom for the past week now, and I have no idea why. One of the blue neons also died in there too. And 3 of the fish I bought for my mom's tank died, 2 of them from fungus. The angelfish lasted longer, and died, but I dont' know why. So now there's just one angelfish up there. When I went to the fishstore today, I bought her some Lyre Mollies. Hopefully they'll be fine.

My basement tank is still cloudy, although not as bad. And the livingroom tank lost another platy, this time the momma Marble platy :( Other then that, I'm contemplating upgrading my basement tank to a 29 gallon. I could buy it from the guy that sold me the 20 gallon, and it would use the same hood as my 20 gallon long.
