Hopefully I can get the recently added no shows (amanos) to clean a bit of it up...
On a side note, RIP me. I bought bug bites that are too big to fit in any of my fish's mouths and I can't return them since I opened them and used them.

Twice now, I’ve bought bug bites that were not the appropriate size lol! And of course, opened them.

Oh no! I've returned open fish food before, with no hassle. But I ordered online, when it was delivered- I opened it & realized I had ordered WHOLE dried shrimp or krill (can't recall) they were larger than my fish. I returned to local pet store & received a full refund. Not sure about the Bug Bites brand.

Great work on your tank though!! I'm so jealous. I think we started our 29g's up at about the same time. I have torn mine apart & it looks awful. Had to take plants out to use meds and now my plants are recovering but do not look so hot!

You've done some amazing work!

Interesting... I might try contacting the seller and seeing if they'll have mercy on me... I mean, it might work and it's worth a shot. Doesn't hurt to at least try.

Thank you! I feel like this tank isn't looking as good as it could so I'm going to spend a few hours this weekend fixing some things and maybe moving some plants around so that it'll look even better...

Thank you again!

The growth is not the problem. I just feel that there are too many litte dwarf sag plants poping up and the pearlweed is shadowing some of the S. Repens and shorter plants that are down there so I'm going to move them around so I can really stand forming a pearlweed bush on the left side.
BN is doing pretty well. I just saw her today on the Zucchini and she has been coming out daily. Still pretty afraid of me tho so I have to watch from at least 2' away.

Umm, well....they are sitting with the rest of the fish food that I’ve bought and either I or the fish didn’t like. :embarrass:

Lol what a good use! Here's a solution: Buy another tank with fish large enough to eat the food and give it to them!
looks like a lot of new plant growth! the water looks less green from what i can tell, your tank looks very cool

Thanks! Sorry I didn't see this message earlier for some reaaon...
 
U should manually remove as much of the algae as possible using a toothbrush.

Oof I'm dumb. I uprooted the massive (12" tall and 6" in diameter) Amazon sword from the tank kinda sorta forgetting that it's a dirted tank. I think you can guess how that went. DarkOne (or someone else) is the soil that I used ok to be ingested by fish in small amounts? I believe I saw some of the corys eating it.
