Haha! Little cuties!
Awe I’m sorry some passed. at least you’ve still have a few left. Glad you were able to remove the father (why do fish have to be so temperamental sometimes!). It will be interesting to see how they turn out!
whats your budget?
Live plants: fluval 3.0, not live plants: fluval aquasky. you will NOT be dissapointed. has sunsets and every color and you control it from your phone ( I hate technology and found it super easy). they range from $70-$100 depending on size. I'm pretty sure pounds are still around a us dollar and a half right?
also it even has random thunderstorms or clouds passing too.. if you want to schedule them.. or not up to you. you can control the exact light you want during the sunset for day/night too
I have three synced up so my amazon tanks have the same timing etc
