Sadly said goodbye to Hei Hei and Pua today. Took them to LFS so that they could be rehomed.
They are too big for the tank We had made and so I decided that they should get the chance of a new home.

Meet the inhabitants of my three tanks. My 80L With HeiHei and Pua, the 40L with the barbs and the 21L with the Harlaquin Rasbora, Pygmaes.
Ottocinclus, panda cory, shrimp and assassin snails.

Flashback to my 21L tank in 2020.
30/06/2023
Pygmaes and Amano Momma shrimp are so fascinating to watch. I literally lose at least half an hour a day just watching them.
24/09/2022
New arrivals. 9 new baby Pygmaes have been added to the 40L. They are currently exploring and one of the male Pygmaes already in the tank has joined them.

Playing with the slow motion setting on my phone. Aren't they elegant.
23/06/2022
Here are the girls. Aren't they beautiful.
Pua keeps staring at me. No idea why.

For anyone who think goldfish are gentle easy pets. This is the reality. LOL

Just fed the 21L and you'd think they hadn't been fed in days!!!!
18/06/2022
Had to clean the 40L yesterday because we lost Castor and Pollux to the heat.
The tank looks much better after a landscaping and gravel vac. I even managed to catch Dru in a shot aswell as Psycho boy Odessa barb. And a Momma shrimp.
18/06/2022
Trying to get good photos of the girls is impossible when it is close to their dinner time. Hei Hei is demanding I feed her right this instant.
15/04/2022
Morning fish watching. Love the way the sun shines through the tanks. So relaxing.
11/04/2022
Castor was searching for food so I dropped an algae wafer in.
23/02/2022
Moved the next batch of babies over this morning. They were greeted by who I like to think are their parents who actually joined them in the nursery mini float whilst they were acclimatising. At one stage I had four adults in the float with the babies. In the end I had to gently tip them all out into the tank as they were quite happy to stay in there.
Will be keeping a close eye on the psycho Odessa pair until I am sure they won't try to eat the babies.

Hei Hei and Pua being extra cute today. Their colour change is almost constant now. Hei Hei's mustache is getting smaller and Pua looks like a panda.

Pics of little Pygmaes with his family and the Ember tetras freaking out because of the scary camera.

Hei Hei has a moostache!!!!! The girls are looking more patchy now and oh so cute!!!!!!
29/12/2021
Just fed the 40L Community and the Pygmaes are all out foraging including the little one. He is fearless swimming with the Minnow/sharks. He does steer clear of the Odessa barbs so he does have some sense.
18/12/2021
Both apple snails are doing well. I think they have stopped growing now.

Pygmaes watch

The girls wanted some video action

Hei Hei and Pua's colour changes.
10/12/2021
Baby minnows are growing fast now. And actually show up on video. Jr Jr is still the biggest. Won't be long before he goes back in with his parents. Another couple of weeks maybe.
10/12/2021
Whilst cleaning the 40L Community I found and removed 2 tiny baby Pygmaes and put them in with the baby minnows.
Last night whilst looking for one of the Odessa males I disturbed this little fella. This morning he is quite happy swimming with the big fishes. So cute!

Hei Hei and Pua colour change update
08/11/2021
They thought I was going to feed them again so they got a bit excited.

This was Pain and Panic's nursery tank. I have decided to use it for Jr Jr and his siblings when they are big enough. I have been adding plants and wood from the 40L and adding bio boost and water conditioner to make sure it is safe for the babies. It has been up for a week so far. Another week and it should be safe to put a couple of baby pest snails in to help speed up cycling.

We are now proud grandparents to some cute minnow fry. The biggest one who Simon calls Junior Junior is approx three weeks old. He survived a week in the main tank so we bought a nursery tank and caught him. Then other babies started swimming around behind the tank, protected from the adults. We started catching them this past few days. There are two which are approx two weeks and five which are days old.
Hoping they will survive. I am feeding them with Liquifry food and broken up flake food for Jr Jr.

Apple snail watching is my new favorite pass time.
First vid was after we first got them and the other two were just now.

About a month ago we brought home Castor and Pollux. Two cute baby apple snails. Have been keeping an eye on them and they have settled in really well. They have also doubled in size. Eventually they will be going in with Hei Hei and Pua but for now they rule the 40L.

The girls new colour changes.
Pua has some beautiful streaks of colour through her tail and Hei Hei is losing more of her black on her belly.
